French Rafael Crashed in Pakistan waters

PARIS: France’s defence ministry says a French Rafale fighter jet has crashed into the waters off Pakistan after its pilot parachuted to safety.

The Rafale was operating from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which is stationed in the Arabian Sea to support the fight in Afghanistan.

The cause of Sunday’s crash was unclear and an investigation has been opened. The ministry said the Rafale plunged into waters near where the aircraft carrier is stationed, more than 100km off the coast of Pakistan in the Arabian Sea.

The pilot was unharmed and was picked up by helicopter.

France has about 3,850 troops engaged in missions in and around Afghanistan.

I cant imagine the carnage if this monster of a plane loaded with fuel had crashed in Malir or any other Densely populated areas next to Karachi Airport...

Was the Pilot a hero...Or was it sheer luck?

You bring a full fueled buring IL-76 down 90seconds out of Karachi and dont land on someones home there is no doubt the Pilot and crew were heros in both thought and deed.

KARACHI - The bodies of 12 victims of the Russian cargo plane crash were recovered while the rescuers were unable to recover the black box from the rubble.

According to reports, Russian cargo plane IL-76, flight number MGCC142, carrying 3.5 tonnes of goods including oil and eight foreign crewmembers reached Karachi from Emirates and took off at 01:48 am for Khartoum, Sudan.

Fire erupted in the left engine of the ill-fated plane and it crashed at 01:49 am and hit an under-construction building known as Navel Heights located in the Navy residential area of PNS Shahbaz.

Colonel Mukhtar Butt, Media Consultant Civil Aviation, told The Nation that they could not say anything about the reason behind the incident while a committee had been formed under the supervision of Commodore Khawaja Abdul Majeed to probe into the incident.

He said that all eight foreigners crewmembers and four local labourers sleeping inside the construction building died. The removal of the rubbles is under way and the black box of the plane is yet to be recovered, he added.
