Islamabd, July 28: Remains of around 40 people were recovered from plane crash site, rescue official said.
A rescue team that accessed the wreckage of a Pakistani passenger jet that crashed into hills in Islamabad on Wednesday saw no sign of survivors, the official said.
"I along with four other police and rescue officials reached the crash site. The debris of the plane was scattered there in raging fire. The plane had struck a ridge which fell on the wreckage," official Arshad Javed told AFP.
"All we could see were charred hands or feet. I collected two heads, two legs and two hands in a bag.
"There were 150 people on board but no survivor was found. We shouted if anyone was there alive, but heard no voice.
"The wreckage of the plane is buried under the debris. First machines have to be deployed there to remove debris of the hill and then we can reach to pull out bodies or survivors -- if any," he told AFP.
Other rescue officials also told AFP there was no apparent sign of any survivors.
