i was there
It happened about 3 kms ( 2 miles ) from where i was.. The wind went up suddenly as soon as i entered the town, and a massive dust storm hit us... Around 10:55 i did see a couple of Fire Tenders scrambling, but dint understand where. Got to know from a friend that its crashed close by.
Casualties at the moment are 11 ( 4 on ground ). The aircraft was a Pilatus PC-12. registered in Feb11. I was reading up on wiki, anyone finds it odd that 3 aircrafts have had loss of IFR?? Loss of instrumentation??
