There sure have been a lot of plane crashes. I wonder what caused this one.

Pervez George , a spokesman for the country's Civil Aviation Authority, told Geo TV there had been a "problem in one of the engines".

Which wouldn't be unusual with an elderly aircraft and poor maintence.

Also according to the BBC there were 22 people killed in the crash,which had no survivors.
