Rescuers find seven bodies in NW China plane crash
Rescuers have found seven charred bodies of the crew of an Azerbaijan cargo plane, which crashed into the livestock sheds of three local farmers, local police said. The search for the black boxes of the crashed plane is still going on. Xinhua correspondents saw rescuers carried the bodies out of the site of the crash that took place at about 11:00 a.m. Tuesday in Xinjiang, northwest China. Sources with the National Civil Aviation Administration said seven crew were aboard the Russian-made IL-76 cargo plane when the tragedy occurred. The head of the chartered cargo plane first touched down the earth, causing explosions and sending off dense smoke, eyewitnesses said. No people on the ground were hurt as parts of the shattered plane and cargo it carried are scattered inside the 2-square kilometer area around the site, which has been sealed off by the police. The livestock shed owners, Lian Maping, Ma Jianjun and Ding Jianzhong, are all working for a local state-owned farm, 10 kilometers away from the airport in the regional capital of Urumqi. Their houses suffered little damage, police said. |
