Here's what the local press are reporting:

THE circumstances and cause of the cargo-plane crash that killed three foreigners at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport on Saturday were still under investigation last night.

The Zimbabwe-registered aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 of Avient Aviation, had seven people on board when it crashed on takeoff, injuring the other four.

Authorities said earlier the aircraft "overshot the runway and exploded on impact."

Witnesses said the plane became airborne for a couple of seconds before heading downward, sending a large plume of black smoke over the airport. There were unconfirmed reports that its tail hit the ground as it took off.

~ ~ ~

The aircraft has been confirmed as Avient Aviation's newly delivered MD-11, registration number Z-BAV. The carrier received the plane just last week.

An MD-11 was also involved in a crash that killed nine people at Shanghai's Hongqiao International Airport in April 1999.
