Recovery crews continue to comb through the site of a deadly plane crash outside Islamabad Saturday.

The flight carrying 127 people left Karachi Friday night. It crashed about 5 miles from the airport in Islamabad. There were no survivors.

Onlookers watch as bits of debris are collected for the investigation. Early reports say bad weather was to blame.

Back in Karachi, relatives scramble for information...and flights out. They are being asked to travel to Islamabad to identify the victims remains.

This man lost his daughter.

The last major airline disaster happened in 2010 when a commercial airliner carrying 152 crashed into the hills overlooking Islamabad.
