Sharjah: Six people have been killed after a cargo plane crashed on take-off from Sharjah Airport.
The Sudanese registered plane, believed to be a Sudan Airways Boeing 707, veered sharply to the right after take-off and flipped before crashing.
The name of the airline has yet to be confirmed but Sharjah Airport has closed its runway as a result of the crash.
Khaled Al Qassimi, director of civil aviation at Sharjah airport, said rescue personnel haven't so far found any of the crew.
"The place is contained. All the fires are extinguished," said Al Qassimi, "we are the picking up bits and pieces for the investigation."
Eyewitnesses have reported seeing the plane "flip and burst into flames."
