KARACHI: The list of passengers reveals that 51 men, 31 women, and nine children were on board the ill-fated Pakistan International Airline(PIA) flight PK-8303 that crashed in Jinnah Garden at Model Colony on Friday.
It is said that 97 persons were aboard the plane, including 85 passengers and 12 members of the flight crew.
