According to eyewitnesses the aircraft hit the ground rose into the air again and exploded.

The wind storms in Rawalpindi/Islamabad airport vicinity are so ferocious, I have always wondered why it isnt closed to traffic at such times, one aborted A300 landing in such conditions at night and that too the pilot decided at almost the last moment not to land, so it really seems to be at their discretion and not ATC.
