巴基斯坦海军救援队正在阿拉伯海的恶劣海况中开展对失联货机机组人员的搜救行动。这是自周二飞机坠毁以来的第二天 [1]。随着搜救工作进入第三天,打捞作业仍在继续 [2]。该架由卡拉奇私营航空公司 K2 Airways 运营的货机在从阿联酋沙迦飞往卡拉奇的途中于当地时间周日晚9:21左右失去雷达和无线电联系 [1][2]。失联地点位于距离卡拉奇约287公里(178英里)处 [2]。机上共有五名机组人员下落不明,包括机长 Muhammad Rizwan Idris、副驾驶 Faisal Jatoi、飞行工程师 Muhammad Hamid 以及两名其他成员 Muhammad Arif Siddiqui 和装卸工 Muhammad Taufiq Khan [1]。尽管搜救队已在奥马尔马附近发现部分飞机残骸,但该地点距离实际坠机点约100公里(60英里)[2]。目前包括五名机组人员在内的主体机身仍下落不明 [1]。巴基斯坦总理 Shehbaz Sharif 已指示当局动用所有可用资源进行搜救工作 [1]。由于坠毁水域深度约为3,000米,预计搜寻主残骸可能需要数月甚至数年 [1]。
Pakistani naval rescue teams are battling rough conditions in the Arabian Sea during a second day of searching for the missing crew of a K2 Airways cargo aircraft that lost contact and crashed [1][2]. Although some debris has been recovered, the main fuselage containing five crew members remains unaccounted for despite partial wreckage having already been located near Omar Marra, approximately 100 kilometers from the crash site [1][2]. The search operation is now entering its third day as Pakistani naval forces continue to scour the waters and retrieve debris from the downed aircraft [2].
The K2 Airways flight was operating a route between Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and Karachi when it lost radar and radio contact around 9:21 p.m. on Tuesday, approximately 287 kilometers west of Karachi [1][2]. The five missing crew members include captain Muhammad Rizwan Idris, first officer Faisal Jatoi, flight engineer Muhammad Hamid, mechanic Muhammad Arif Siddiqui, and loader Muhammad Taufiq Khan [1].
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered authorities to deploy all available resources for the rescue effort [1]. Experts indicate that locating the main wreckage could take months or even years due to the extreme depth of the crash site in the Arabian Sea, which is estimated at around 3,000 meters [1].
