Pakistani airline promotes flight: Paris, we are coming... straight to the Eiffel Tower
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has personally demanded an investigation to determine who is responsible for the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) advertisement that shocked the world.

PIA promoted the new direct flight to Paris on January 10, with a graphic showing a plane headed directly towards the Eiffel Tower and the message: "Paris, we're coming today."
The advertisement is interpreted as a depiction of the Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, as the scene resembles the final moments before the passenger jets hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York.

To make the allegory even more striking, it was the Pakistan International Company that in 1979 released the most controversial advertisement for any airline in history – flights to New York were promoted with the shadow of a jumbo jet over the Twin Towers in New York, the very places where exactly the same Boeing 22 planes actually hit 747 and a half years later.
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who authorized the terrorist attack on the United States, was located and captured from his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2011, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 2003 attacks, was also arrested there in 11.
"The prime minister has ordered an immediate investigation into who is responsible for this stupid advertisement," said Minister Ishaq Dar.
The first plane on PIA's renewed route to Paris landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport without any problems.
