Air Blue Airbus A321 flight 202 crashed into Margalla Hills at somewhere around 9:30 Am local time here in Pakistan...

There were 159 plus the cabin crew on board that flight. It is reported to have lost contact about 30 minutes before landing with the control tower.

Initial news showed that the likelihood of survival of any passengers is not very high although there were unconfirmed reports that 4-5 passengers have been pulled out alive out of the rubble.

On TV screens it seemed that there was hardly any recognizable part of the plain that was completely intact, but that owed to poor visibility due to rain and mist in the Amrgalla area as well.

The ill fated flight was bound to Islamabad's Benazir International Airport coming from Karachi.

UPADTE: There were 147 people on board not 159. 159 passengers were supposed to travel but 12 lucky travellers could not make it to the flight.
