Pakistan plane crash: Jet carrying 107 people crashes into houses near airport

193 in this case but ok

Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration but even 193 is just two knots shy of the A320 195kt tire limit. This guy would need an F1 pit crew between flights.

Final Report in English: 1 (caapakistan.com.pk)

The comment in the Executive Summary stating "Owing to an un-precedent (sic) combination of technical malfunctions, this accident proved to be a unique case" is at best misleading, at worst an attempt to cover-up or deflect from the real cause. IMHO the violation of the sterile cockpit rule and the prolonged unresponsiveness of the flight crew at the start of the approach should feature prominently in the Executive Summary.

"this accident proved to be a unique case"

Well that's reassuring. I was worried that it might be the new normal.
