Fiery cargo plane crash kills 8 in Pakistani city
A cargo plane crashed in flames into a residential area in Pakistan's largest city soon after takeoff Sunday, killing all eight Russian crew aboard but narrowly missing several densely populated apartment blocks, aviation officials said.
At least one person on the ground was injured when the Russian-made plane slammed into a housing complex under construction in Karachi, sending fire and smoke into the sky and razing or damaging about 20 buildings. Authorities were searching the smoking rubble Sunday for any additional survivors or bodies. (AP)
