Turkish cargo plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan, dozens killed

At least 37 people were killed when a Turkish cargo plane crashed in Kyrgyzstan on its way to the capital city of Bishek on Monday. "The number of victims is increasing quickly. The fire service, rescue services, ministry of internal affairs and the prime minister and emergencies minister are there," Elira Sharipova, a spokeswoman for Kyrgyzstan's Emergency Ministry told CNN. The crash happened at 7:18 a.m. local time about 1.2 miles away from the airport. While the cause of the crash is being investigated, Kyrgyzstan's state-run news agency Kabar noted that poor visibility was likely a factor. The Boeing 747 departed from Hong Kong.
