Air Blue Airbus Crashed In Islamabad
A Pakistani passenger plane Air Blue Airbus 321 with 160 people on board crashed this morning amid heavy rain and fog into the Margalla Hills overlooking Islamabad. There are conflicting reports about how many people have survived. Local television channels report that at least 20 bodies have been found, including that of the pilot's. This is Pakistan's worst-ever plane crash.
The plane was headed from Karachi to Islamabad when it went up in flames at 10 am in the heavily-forested Margalla Hills. The Airbus A321, operated by a private airline, Airblue, was completely wrecked, with rescue officials reporting that dead bodies - charred beyond recognition -were strewn around its remains.
