The flight coming from India was carrying 150 passengers and was flying over Karachi when it was caught in the middle of many flashes of lightning that could have resulted in a catastrophe.
Soon after, the pilot initiated emergency protocol and broadcasted 'Mayday' to nearby stations. An Air Traffic Controller from Pakistan responded to the call of the pilot and directed it through the dense air traffic over Pakistan.
