It is clear from an audio clip of another PIA pilot plus some media reports what caused them to rush the approach. He also made it clear that it is not possible that he wasn't fasting. He termed the approach as hot and high and according to him it is not uncommon. So there were no special reasons but just a lax operating culture. The point is when you undertake something that's way outside safe operating practice under fatigue and hypoglycemic effect then it can end in a disaster like this.
