A baby has been pulled from the wreckage of a plane after it crashed into a house, killing 12 people, after it took off in treacherous weather conditions in Kazakhstan.

The passenger jet was carrying 100 people and among the dead are a top investigative journalist and a former deputy interior minister.

As rescue workers were pulling survivors from the metal wreckage, a tiny baby was found alive among the rubble and quickly carried to safety through the snow.

The condition of the baby is not known but the rescue worker ran towards an ambulance to get urgent medical help.

Survivors of the crash pleaded for help on social media from the wreckage of the plane as they waited up to 20 minutes for help, it was claimed today.

Passengers phoned emergency services and posted videos online after Bek Air flight Z2100 went down after leaving Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city this morning with 98 on board.

According to Kazakhstan's civil aviation agency, the jet 'lost altitude during takeoff and broke through a concrete fence', before hitting a building.
Survivor Gulnara Koshenova said the aircraft had started to 'gain height' shortly after takeoff, adding: 'Then there was a strong shake, and in the end the crash.

'Everything began to shake and fall... there were screams...Someone broke the emergency exit and we ran out'.

Another male passenger said: 'It took off, did one circle and crashed'.

One survivor in a social media post claimed it took up to 20 minutes for a 'Security' vehicle to arrive.

The desperate woman who filmed the carnage said in the footage, 'Bek Air... Crash... 20 minutes...Only this car just arrived...And some security car takes the (injured) kids away.

'No more help. No ambulances... no paramedics'.

The Fokker 100 jet took off at 7.05am local time and was due to arrive in the country's capital of Nursultan by 8:40am. There were 93 passengers and five crew on board.

The airport published a list of 60 people who it said were receiving medical care. More than 30 victims were taken to various hospitals with severe injuries.

A full list of the passengers published by Kazakhstan's interior ministry said there were 85 adults, five children and three infants on board, not counting the crew.

A woman survivor said: 'The plane started banking from side to side and going down. It seemed to me that we just landed in a bad way.

'Then I saw that part of the plane collapsed. We came out onto the wing and saw that half of the plane was under rubble.'

Life Shot telegram channel reported that the plane's tail had scraped the runway with its tail twice before the takeoff.

The plane's captain Murat Muratbayev, 58, died in hospital after being pulled out of the cockpit at the crash site.

Among the dead were journalist Dana Kruglova, 35, head of investigations at Informburo Kazakhstan.

Her editor-in-chief Mikhail Dorofeyev said: 'Dana was honest, brave and unbiased at the same time. This is a terrible loss for all of us.'

Also killed was Major General Rustem Kairarov, 79, a former Kazakhstan deputy interior minister.

He was later deputy head of the country's Investigations Committee, in charge of probing serious crimes.

Bek Air offered 'sincere condolences' to the bereaved.

Another passenger Maral Erman said the plane was shaking during take-off, Tengri News website reports.

Ms Erman said the crew opened the exit for passengers to get out of the aircraft. She added that she later saw the plane had 'split in half'.

In a statement on its Facebook page, the Almaty International Airport said a fire and a rescue operation got underway immediately following the crash.

Footage of the crash scene show the fuselage broken up in the ruins of the building that was struck. People can be heard calling for help in videos of the crash site posted online.
