One of the two people to survive a plane crash in Pakistan that killed 97 people onboard has described jumping from the burning wreckage of the aircraft after it hurtled into a residential neighbourhood. The Pakistan International Airlines plane came down among houses on Friday after both engines failed as it approached Karachi airport, the airline said. Then I jumped out.”Zubair had suffered burns but was in a stable condition, a health ministry official said. “Eid has become meaningless not only for Karachi but the whole of Pakistan,” said Zia ul Huq Qamar, who lives near the crash site. “The pilot did his best to bring the plane to the runway and tried hard to contain damages,” Khan said Saturday.
