Pakistan: Search continues for five missing crew members of crashed plane

Pakistani search and rescue teams were on Thursday searching for the second consecutive day for the five crew members of the cargo plane that crashed into the Arabian Sea, 300 kilometres west of Karachi. The Boeing 737 cargo aircraft, operated by Karachi-based private airline K2 Airways, vanished from radar after it was seen descending rapidly and making a sudden change in direction during the flight from Sharjah to Karachi on Tuesday night.

The wreckage of the aircraft was recovered from 53 nautical miles south of Ormara on the Balochistan coast on Wednesday.

However, there was no sign of the missing five crew members, according to official sources.
