UPDATE: 152 Killed in Pakistan Plane Crash

Video from the scene of today's Airblue plane crash near Islamabad, Pakistan, taken by Muhammad Saqib Sultan, a computer engineer who works in the Margalla Hills, the site of the accident.

He writes in an email:

"[This] morning when I reach in my office and turn on the t.v. there is a news of plane crash. So I just lift up to roof and found heavy smoke with fire in front of me on the hills. I just start my bike and pick my [colleague] and reach at margilla road below hills, the last limit. Then from there we start follows the rescue teams, climbing on the hills. There was heavy rain and the path from ground to crash site in very dangerous and far away. About 1 and half hour. At last we reach at the site of crash. And that's the way I was able to make the videos and images."

The Airbus A321 had reportedly left Karachi en route to the capital when it came down in heavy rain.

User notes: A plane crashed in Destin, Fl on July 2, 2010. My family was at the beach in front of the Crab Trap when we saw a yellow plane take a nose dive into the water. The plane then blew up and caught on fire. This video shows the plane smoking after the fire died down.
