A plane carrying at least 17 passengers crashed into homes shortly after takeoff Sunday in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing at least 25, including people on the ground, authorities said.
The National Border Health program confirmed the fatalities in a statement and said that there were two survivors, including one member of the crew. The survivors were being treated at a hospital.
The small aircraft, a Dornier-228 twin-turboprop, plunged into two neighboring houses near the city of Goma’s airport in the central African country, North Kivu provincial Minister of Health Moise Kanyere said.
Air accidents are frequent in the Congo because of poor maintenance and relaxed air safety standards. None of Congo’s commercial carriers, including Busy Bee, are allowed to fly into European Union airspace because of safety concerns.
