5 killed in Ukrainian cargo plane fire in Egypt

The plane was in the process of lifting off from the tarmac when it “slammed to the ground” and caught on fire Egypt’s Civil Aviation Minister Ahmad Shafiq said in a statement. The plane then slid off the tarmac and came to rest hundreds of yards from the runway where it was consumed in flames he said. The cargo plane which had landed in Luxor to refuel had a full tank and this could have contributed to the fire Shafiq said. The Russian-made Antonov An-12 cargo plane was traveling from Entebbe Uganda to Ukraine when it stopped in Luxor said an Egyptian aviation official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The official said Egyptian fire engines rushed to the aircraft but the fire had swept through the plane too quickly.
