A VISIT TO PAKISTAN'S AIR CRASH SITE

This morning I heard a plane flying low over the area where I have my apartment in Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Moments later that same plane crashed into the nearby Margala Hills, just outside Islamabad.

It was terrible weather - monsoon rains, clouds, fog. I immediately tried to reach the spot of the accident. That turned out to be rather difficult, as the crash happened in thick forest on a mountain slope. Anyhow, it took around 1.5 hours to get there. Here are some of the pics I made at the crash site.

Warning: Some pictures show body parts.
