Dozens killed in Pakistan Air crash
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/22/asia/pakistan-plane-crash-intl/index.html<snip>
At least 38 people have been killed after a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight crashed Friday in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, according to Health Minister Azra Fazal.
The airline's CEO said at a news conference that the flight from Lahore was carrying 99 passengers and crew members in total, revising down a higher figure given by Pakistan's Aviation Ministry earlier.
The plane did not hit any buildings and no one on the ground appears to have been killed, PIA CEO Air Vice Marshal Arshad Malik told reporters in Karachi Friday. The plane landed in a lane, he added.
Malik said the airline was tracking the number of dead by coordinating with local hospitals, a procedure that will take at least two days. He only knew of one survivor, Zafar Masood, the CEO of the Bank of Punjab.
