The eyewitness reports so far include the usual gamut of opinions about aircraft attitude and altitude. What stands out to me is that no one seems to have said anything about how much noise the plane was making which you often hear in eyewitness reports. Hard to believe the engines were anywhere near TOGA without eyewitnesses noticing what would certainly be an extremely loud noise even for those used to low flying planes overhead. Does anyone know if Airblue's aircraft are equipped with EGPWS? If so, is there any reason other than MEL (current database issue?) for it to be turned off going into Islamabad? It seems like they may have had little or no warning from inside the a/c and from what we know of the ATC stuff so far it doesn't sound like there were any EGPWS Cautions or Warnings audible during the crews transmissions granting of course that we don't know if those transmissions were 60s or less from impact. Also there is the question of did they notice their rad alts and/or get any automated callouts based off of them?
