Death Toll From Turkish Boeing Crash Near Bishkek Rises to 43

11:24 GMT 26.01.2017 (Updated: 11:26 GMT 26.01.2017)

The number of people killed as a result of the mid-January crash of a Turkish cargo aircraft into homes near Kyrgyzstan’s capital has exceeded 40, the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) said Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Boeing 747 crashed on January 16, while flying from Hong Kong to Istanbul. It was supposed to make a stopover at Kyrgyzstan’s Manas airport when it came down less than a mile from the runway and razed 32 homes, killing the crew and people on the ground.

"Site: near Manas airport, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan… Death toll: 43," IAC said on its website.
