Confirmed: No Survivors Among 127 Pax in Pakistan Crash
The flight data recorder has been located, NBC’s Fakhar Rehman reported from Islamabad, and the so-called or "black box" was expected to reveal why the plane went down.

to all of the families and friends affected our condolences are offered....
Director general of the Meteorological department Arif Mehmood said the civil aviation authority had been twice warned about adverse weather conditions over Islamabad air space Friday, Geo New reported.
"The first warning was issued at 3:00 p.m. which cited major aviation hazards; the second warning was issued prior to 6:00 p.m.," he said.
Both warnings stated that the wind pressure was extremely high, Mehmood said adding that the Bhoja Airlines plane, which crashed, should have never been given permission to land.
"The plane should have been directed to land at the alternate airport, which is the Allama Iqbal Airport in Lahore," he said.
Director General of civil aviation authority (CAA) Nadeem Yousafzai later said the investigation into the plane crash could take anywhere from three months to one year.

what concerns me the most is that the plane was actually too old to fly....
A 32 year old plane is NOT old if it is properly maintained. There are plenty of "old" planes flying still in the US without problems!
I didn't see that in the article.
I don't believe that scud running report for a second. Sounds more like wind shear to me.
