“The plane burst in the air. It was between 6:30 and 6:45 pm. The debris
is scattered over an area of one kilometre. There are tyres and dead bodies.
The rescue workers did not have enough sheets, so we have brought sheets
from our houses to cover the bodies. There are still more dead bodies behind
us in an area around 500 feet in radius. Ten or twelve houses were also
damaged by parts of the plane,” said Noman Ahmed, a local resident.
Rescue workers have recovered the remains of all 127 passengers and crew, and
have identified 102 of them.
Post mortem examinations have been carried out on the victims, and the
government will transport their bodies to their homes by the evening, to
enable relatives to bury them quickly, as per the Muslim custom.
