Pakistan plane crash: 'All I could see was fire'

Media playback is unsupported on your deviceOne of the survivors of Friday's plane crash in the Pakistani city of Karachi has described his ordeal, saying all he could see"was fire".

Images posted on social media appeared to show scorch marks under both engines, with no undercarriage visible on approach. Mr Zubair, who suffered only minor injuries, said the plane attempted one landing and then crashed 10-15 minutes later. "I opened my seatbelt and saw some light - I went towards the light. I had to jump down about 10ft to get to safety," he added.The plane was only just short of the runway perimeter when it struck houses in the Model Colony residential area. TV footage showed rescue crews combing through debris strewn across the streets of the densely populated zone. A number of cars were set on fire.
