This photo from early 1970s shows Capt. M. M. Salehjee with a crash landed PIA Boeing 707 at Ankara Airport, Turkey. Capt. M. M. Salehjee and Capt. Mohammed Arshad Mir (as co-pilot) were at the controls of aircraft as it approached Ankara Airport for landing. The landing was going to be made by Capt. Mir. The weather was bad and Mir asked Salehjee to take over for the landing. Somehow, Salehjee didn’t hear the request, Mir thought that he had and so the approach was flown with nobody at the controls until impact! The pilots were unable to regain control of the aircraft and it veered off the runway. The Boeing 707's main under carriage collapsed as it struck the runway very hard. As seen in this photo, soon after aircraft's crash landing PIA logo and titles were painted out from its tail and fuselage because Pakistan's then Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was due to arrive at the same airport on a VVIP PIA flight few days later. Later, this Boeing 707 was repaired and returned to active service with PIA.
==================================================
Quite dumb on the pilot side as how nobody noticed the plane was approaching ground so mercilessly. In critical environments you are responsible to convey your requests, make sure they are understood and receive acknowledgment in return. Its not like bus driving where conductor can yell at driver who can choose to ignore it and later play the "i did not hear him" card.
And 1970's were hey days of PIA unlike today so that tells a lot about their staff!!
