Kyrgyzstan mourns for victims of plane crash
Print Edition
KYRGYZSTAN was yesterday observing a day of mourning as it recovered the bodies of the dozens of people killed when a Turkish cargo plane crashed into a village outside the capital a day ago.
Authorities in the Central Asian country have blamed pilot error for Monday’s crash of a cargo plane operated by ACT Airlines, a Turkish cargo carrier, as it was attempting to land in foggy conditions at the Manas airport in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek.
Kyrgyzstan had announced that the country of 6 million would observe a day of mourning yesterday.
The bodies of 37 victims of the crash in the village of Dacha Suu had been identified at a local morgue by yesterday, including those of three of the aircraft’s four pilots, Deputy Prime Minister Mukhammetkaly Abulgaziev said on state television.
Additional body fragments and the body of the fourth pilot were later found, authorities said, suggesting the toll could continue to rise.
The health ministry said in a statement that 13 people remained hospitalized with injuries sustained in the crash, which happened as the plane was traveling from China’s Hong Kong to Istanbul via Bishkek.
One of the black boxes of the Boeing 747-400 was recovered, the government said, without specifying how long it’ll take to decipher it.
