“The debris was scattered about 100 meters out. The plane fell in a ravine behind the mountains so the debris is not very scattered. People on the ground told me that the plane slammed onto the ground two or three times before it fell into the water,” Kashif said. “There is no question of landing in this terrain for helicopters or planes. There are settlements on both sides of the crash site.”
