A fatal aviation incident occurred when an Antonov An-24 crashed in a mountain pass in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of all 44 occupants. The flight, originating from Kunduz Airport (UND/OAUZ) to Kabul Airport (KBL/OAKB), was a domestic passenger flight PM1102. Six crew members and 38 passengers were on board. Heavy fog hampered visibility, and aircrews from the Afghan National Army Air Corps (ANAAC) and ISAF located the wreckage on May 19th at approximately 13,500 feet (4,100 m) in Shakar Darah district, Kabul Province. The wreckage was scattered across the mountainside. An inquest revealed a misunderstanding of an early ground proximity warning system, potentially due to language issues or previous false alerts, and the controller’s request to maintain altitude in bad weather, leading to the plane’s descent into a mountainous area.A fatal aviation incident occurred when an Antonov An-24 crashed in a mountain pass in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of all 44 occupants.
