Passenger plane crashes in Islamabad; 152 on board
ISLAMABAD: A passenger plane crashed in the Margalla Hills in Islamabad on Wednesday, reports said.
At least 152 people were on board the ABQ-202, said Pervez George, a civil aviation official.
The 152 included 146 passengers along with six crew members, George said.
Rescue workers arrived at the scene and managed to pull out four injured passengers from under the rubble.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik said five injured people were recovered from the site and were rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, Imtiaz Inayat, a senior Islamabad municipal official, told a private television channel up to five bodies had been recovered from the site of the crash.
“Several bodies are lying in the area. Four or five bodies have been taken,” Inayat said.
Separately, Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of the Capital Development Authority, said: We have sent fire engines to the site, so far five dead bodies have been recovered.
“We are gathering information. We have no more details,” said Mubarik Shah, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority.
The plane was flying from Karachi to Islamabad and the exact cause of the crash was not immediately clear.
The aircraft had lost contact with the control tower during the crash which occurred amid thick fog and heavy rainfall in Islamabad.
Guards with the forestry service said they had found some wreckage and seen some bodies, police official Mohammad Saeed said. The army said it was sending special troops to the area to help out along with helicopters.
Mohammed Usman, an official at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport said dozens of relatives of passengers gathered there were crying and desperate to get information about their loved ones.
One Saqlain Altaf told a private television news channel that he was on a family outing in the hills when he saw the plane, looking unsteady in the air.
''The plane had lost balance, and then we saw it going down,'' he said, adding he heard the crash.
Thick clouds of smoke were rising from the Margalla Hills.
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani ordered authorities to control the fire immediately and rescue passengers.
Airblue could not immediately be reached for comment.
The airliner began operations in 2004 with a fleet of Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft, the company said on its website.
The plane that crashed on Wednesday was also built by Airbus, the European planemaker said.
“We regret to confirm there has been an accident with an Airbus aircraft and we will provide more information when we have more confirmed data available,” Airbus spokesman Stefan Schaffrath said.
According to the latest available data published by Airbus, Airblue operates six aircraft from its A320 family of short-haul and medium-haul aircraft seating up to 185 passengers.
Forty-five people were killed when a passenger plane belonging to Pakistan International Airlines crashed near Multan in 2006.
