It was an IL-76 plane. It came from Fujera UAE and was bound for next destination Khartoum. It crashed just after five minutes after take off. Plane had 4 crew members all foreigners (non Pakistani). The plane fell on a under construction building which has been completely destroyed. Eye witnesses say that engine was on fire before crash. News channel are reporting evacuation of 4 dead bodies from accident site

[Windjammer]

The IL-76 is a large aircraft and over and above that, it was transporting POL as part of it's cargo. One can only imagine the ferocity of the fire.

Nope. No it isn't those aerial refuellers that we bought from ukraine. It was an IL-76 plane. It came from Fujera UAE and was bound for next destination Khartoum. It crashed just after five minutes after take off. Plane had 4 crew members all foreigners (non Pakistani). The plane fell on a under construction building which has been completely destroyed.

Those IL-78 would be stationed in Chaklala not in Karachi.

Sir it is looking like a nuclear blast has happened on the site. The fire is massive, electricity has also been cut off.

Dead bodies are now being recovered, from the destruction it looks like it is the worst air crash ever. The fire has taken over the whole area and the under construction building it crashed on has been completely destructed.

The latest news reported by Geo NEWS is that Plane was owned by a Russian company carrying 31 ton cargo. Left engine of the aircraft caught fire soon after it took off. Sources confirmed through civil aviation authorities is that plane had a crew of eight members, their nationalities have yet to be established.
Sad news are coming that one of the family recently shifted to crash area has become victim of air crash.

2/3 injured persons have been evacuated to local hospitals.
