Pakistani student claims possible PK-404 wreckage find in Tajikistan, 37 years after disappearance
Faseeh Ali Rajput says two years of research led him to possible wreckage of the missing PIA flight in Tajikistan’s mountains. His claim has not been independently verified.
A Pakistani A-Level student has claimed to have located possible wreckage of PIA Flight PK-404 in a remote, snow-covered mountainous area of Tajikistan, thirty-seven years after the aircraft disappeared. The claim by Faseeh Ali Rajput has not been independently verified.
Rajput said on his YouTube channel, Curious Faseeh, that he had spent two years investigating the disappearance. He used Google Earth and satellite imagery to identify a location he believes could contain the missing aircraft’s remains.
His account points to a possible location rather than a confirmed discovery of the aircraft. The identification rests on his interpretation of the imagery examined during his research.
Flight PK-404 took off from Gilgit for Islamabad on 25 August 1989. Around nine minutes after departure, the aircraft disappeared from radar, and an extensive search failed to find any trace of it.
