5 dead as plane burns on Egypt runway: officials
Five crew on board a Ukrainian cargo plane were killed on Friday when their plane caught fire while taking off from an airport in the southern Egyptian city of Luxor, airport officials said. A Ukrainian transport ministry official identified the dead as two Ukranians, two Belarussians and a Russian. The aircraft, a Russian-made Antonov 12, had arrived from Uganda to refuel en route to the Ukraine, the official told AFP in Kiev. Egyptian airport officials had initially said the plane arrived from Tanzania. Firefighters and rescue workers raced to the scene but were unable to save the crew, an Egyptian official said. Other traffic at the airport was not disrupted, he added.
