Pakistan jet crash kills 152 people

A PASSENGER jet crashed into the hills surrounding Pakistan’s capital Islamabad amid poor weather yesterday, killing all 152 people on board and blazing a path of devastation strewn with bodies and wreckage.

Initial Interior Ministry reports that five people survived the Airblue crash were wrong, said Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of the Capital Development Authority, which deals with emergencies and reports to the ministry.

“The situation at the site of the crash is heartbreaking,” Elahi said. “It is a great tragedy and I confirm it with pain that there are no survivors.”
