Excellent - look at the picture, and then the following statement...
Are they taking the p**s?! 
The PIA management stated that if the repair work took longer than expected, the passengers would be taken to Lahore on another aircraft.

The PIA flight ATR-42 was traveling from Islamabad to Lahore when it strayed off the runway while it was attempting to land. Three people on board the aircraft were injured, including two passengers and a member of the flight crew. More than 30 passengers were traveling on the flight.
An image posted on social networking website Twitter purportedly showed the PIA aircraft that crash-landed. The person who posted the photo, @shammalqureshi, said in a post “It was very close to runway when it crashed, bounced back up and then crashed on the wing.then it just steered to the side.”
The runway at the Lahore airport was temporarily closed due to the crash landing.
Earlier Friday, another PIA flight made an emergency landing at the Quetta airport due to a technical fault.
According to PIA sources, the flight PK 240 had been travelling from Kuwait to Lahore when it developed the fault. The flight had 196 passengers on board. All passengers and crew members were evacuated from the aircraft safely.
