At least 36 dead in plane crash in Pakistan mountains
A plane carrying about 40 people crashed on the slope of a mountain in northern Pakistan on Wednesday, with witnesses at the site of the flaming wreckage saying there were unlikely to be any survivors.
The military said 36 bodies had been recovered and rescue efforts involved about 500 soldiers, doctors and paramedics. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) said its plane lost contact with the control tower en route to the capital, Islamabad, from the northern region of Chitral.
