KARACHI – A Russian cargo plane crashed in KarachiÂ’s Dalmia Naval Colony in the wee hours of Sunday, killing at least 11 people including all eight crewmembers on board and three on the ground.
The Sudan-bound four-engine plane took off from Quaid-i-Azam International Airport at 1.55 am and crashed after five minutes of its flight. Eyewitnesses said they saw planeÂ’s right engine was on fire before it plunged towards the ground and crashed causing a huge explosion.
Several residential buildings caught fire after the explosion. Rescue and relief teams rushed to the crash site. So far rescue workers recovered four bodies from the wreckage of the plane.
It is learnt that these cargo planes were normally used by NATO forces for shifting of cargo to Afghanistan. It was not immediately known what kind of cargo this plane was carrying from Karachi to Khartoum.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman Pervez George said first reports indicated it was a Russian cargo plane with eight crewmembers and it came UAE. He further said that normally such planes carry three or four people as crew. All the crewmembers were foreigners, he added.
The cause of the crash was not yet established by the CAA authorities. When contacted, airport authorities told this correspondent that it was too early to draw any conclusion. Replying to a question, they said apparently it was a technical fault that caused the crash. He, however, did not respond when asked if there could be a possibility of terrorist activity.
Dalmia is a thickly populated area near Gulistan-i-Johar.
Hundreds of people have gathered at the spot arrived on the spot while the crash site is on fire and thick smoke emitting from the scene, eyewitnesses said.

After a disastrous year, lorry makers are moving up a gear
LIKE a small furry animal in the fast lane of a motorway, the lorry industry suffered a severe pounding in 2009. A decline in worldwide heavy-lorry sales of some 50% was a harsh reminder that this is a business that grows with the sale and transport of goods and then suffers disproportionately when recession strikes. But at the industry’s biggest trade show in Hanover in September the truckers put their boots back on the throttle.
Daimler, the world’s biggest lorry maker, said that sales from January to August were up by 33% over the previous year and that orders had leapt by 65%. It expects to make a profit of €1 billion ($1.4 billion) compared with a similar loss in 2009. MAN, another German firm, reckons that it will sell some 120,000 vehicles in 2010, three times what it sold last year. Sweden’s Volvo also reported a 62% increase in sales in August compared with 2009. Daimler is now confidently predicting that lorry sales will grow by more than half by 2015 to some 3m vehicles. But such was the severity of the crash the industry suffered in 2009 that global sales will still be only two-thirds of what they were in 2006. …
