ISLAMABAD - Officially, 152 people died on a Pakistan plane crash and no one survived as it was reported earlier. The plane crashed into hills as it tried to land during a rainstorm on Wednesday.
Earlier reports said that five survivors had been pulled from the wreckage after the plane tumbled into hillside. But the head of Pakistan's civil defense body said that no one had survived.
Rescuers said they need to dig with their bare hands, with thick smoke hampering their work. The rescue workers had a limited access because there was no roads near to the crash site.
There was no clear explanation of the possible cause of crash, said Pervez George, a civil aviation official. He said the Airbus 321 was flying from Karachi to Islamabad.
