A plane carrying at least 17 passengers crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday in Congo’s eastern city of Goma.
Rescuers and onlookers gather amidst the debris of an aircraft operated by private carrier Busy Bee which crashed in Goma, Congo Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019. The plane carrying at least 17 passengers crashed Sunday on takeoff in Congo's eastern city of Goma in North Kivu province, killing those on board, officials said, and possibly people on the ground after the aircraft crashed into residential homes.
There are two survivors, including one member of the crew, according to the National Border Health Program, which confirmed 25 dead in a statement later Sunday. The survivors are being cared for at a local hospital, it said. Placide Kambale, a local pilot, said he took a taxi to the scene of the crash to help out. When he got there, the plane was on fire.
Joseph Makundi, coordinator of the North-Kivu civil protection, said that at least 25 people had been killed.
