KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — A cargo plane crashed into a residential area of Pakistan’s largest city soon after takeoff Sunday, setting off a huge blaze. The aircraft had eight crew on board, the civil aviation authority said,
Casualties on the ground appeared likely.
An Associated Press reporting team at the scene said several buildings were on fire and loud explosions were being heard. The plane came down in a housing complex for Naval officers, the reporters said.
Aviation authority spokesman Pervais George said the Russian-made cargo plane was heading to Sudan when it came down two minutes after take off. He said he could not confirm any information on casualties.
The crash was the third in less than four months in Pakistan.
Earlier this month in Karachi, 21 people were killed when a small passenger plane crashed soon after take off.
In July, a passenger jet operated by Pakistan carrier Airblue crashed into hills overlooking the capital, Islamabad, during stormy weather, killing all 152 onboard.

Posted on November 28, 2010 at 1:05pmMy first gut reaction is “Who cares. They (the Muslims) deserved this. But in reality these are by and large innocent human beings going about their lives in a city that is overcrowded and laws that make their lives pathetic.
Report Post »To even let oneself feel any elation is to demean myself to the radical Muslim standards where they take to the streets in celebration when we are attacked. As a Christian I hope and pray all those that are innocent are now in the hands of God no matter what name he is called.

Posted on November 28, 2010 at 9:44amI am curious, why there have been three aircraft accidents in Pakistan involving different types of aircraft. Stay focused on the issues, don’t get caught up with finger pointing. Sailor or Sail0r is a good example. Remember “watch what the other hand is doing”.

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 7:49pmYou know, my short time that I have spent with you all has made me think about how much I love this country. You take Sailor for instance, I mean this guy jumps on some lib, degrades him; pretends that he is the guys friend and insinuates all sorts of disgusting positions for this guy. Totally ignoring he is here, mabe for a trolling purpose but he is here and WE could change his mind. But good old Sailor steps up and calls him out, talks trash about him and then crys foul when he gets his account trolled all over. Well, I can tell you this: when I get a chance to enlighten a lib I do everything I can to. Sailor brought this on himself and has only himself to blame. The “Fake” sailor can float back to 4chan and you all can continue to think that your posts mean something.

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 8:38pmAre you that petty? Not talking about the muslim comment or any of the other nonsense that you spew. I’m simply talking about your little escapade here. You do realize that hacking someones account and trolling a message board is something children with a little TOO much computer knowledge do, right? It not only shows you have the emotional and mental capacity (outside of hacking of course) of a freaking badger suffering from aspergers’ syndrome but it also shows that you have NO class, NO real ability to express your political beliefs etc .. so what do you do? Try to copy someone who ****** you off. Why? Because their mental capacity outweighs yours.
