The site here is the Jinnah International Airport where the flight originated.  The crash occurred shortly after takeoff but the precise location needs to be found.

1947 Korangi Creek crash

The Korangi Creek crash took place when an Air India flight from Karachi to Bombay crashed shortly after takeoff. All 19 passengers and 4 crew members were killed. Poor visibility and malfunctioning instrument in the cockpit led the pilots to lose control. The Douglas DC-3 aircraft was damaged beyond repair. This was the first airline fatality in Pakistan after its independence in 1947.
