According to the airport administration, the plane was supposed to make a stopover at Manas, near the capital city Bishkek, on its way from Hong Kong to Istanbul. It crashed when trying to land in poor visibility at 7:31 a.m. (08:31 p.m. ET). The doomed plane plowed for a few hundred meters (yards) through the village, shattering into pieces and damaging some 15 buildings. Initial estimates put the death toll from the crash at 37, said Kyrgyzstan's emergencies ministry. Rescue teams have reached the crash site of a Turkish cargo jet near Kyrgyzstan's Manas airport. Kyrgyz officials initially identified the Boeing 747-400 as belonging to Turkish Airlines, but Turkish cargo operator ACT Airlines said the jet was theirs.
