No survivors as Pakistan plane crash kills 152

A plane has crashed in hills north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, killing all 152 people on board.

The plane, an Airblue flight from Karachi to Islamabad, came down in the Margalla Hills.

Officials said the plane lost contact with the control tower minutes before landing. It is not known what caused the crash.

Pakistani TV showed images of smouldering wreckage on a foggy hillside, with helicopters overhead.

Two Americans were among the victims, a US embassy spokesman said, but gave no further details.
---------------
Looks like whoever allowed the aircraft to take off is responsible given the very bad monsoon weather.
