The plane was flying over Karachi when it was caught in the middle of a weather pattern with lots of lightning that could have resulted in catastrophe.

After lightning struck, the plane dropped down from an altitude of 36,000 feet to 34,000 feet almost immediately.

As a result, the pilot initiated emergency protocol and broadcast ‘Mayday’ to nearby stations.
