BREAKING: A local official says a plane has crashed on takeoff in Congo’s eastern city of Goma with 17 people aboard.
GOMA, Congo — A plane carrying at least 17 passengers crashed Sunday on takeoff in Congo’s eastern city of Goma, killing those on board, officials said, and possibly people on the ground.“The governor of North Kivu is sad to announce the plane crash this morning at Goma International Airport. The first information in our possession indicates that the plane had 17 passengers on board before failing to take off,” a statement from North Kivu governor Nzanzu Kasivita Carly’s office said.
The U.N. mission in Congo said it has sent an Emergency Crash and Rescue team with two fire engines to support Congolese authorities. The aircraft was owned by private carrier Busy Bee and was headed to Beni, about 350 kilometers north of Goma in the same province.AP NEWS
