A small passenger plane carrying at least 17 passengers crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday in Congo’s eastern city of Goma, killing at least 25 people, including people on the ground.
Rescuers and residents gather near debris of a small plane after it crashed in Congo's eastern city of Goma on Nov. 24, 2019.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.
“I called other young people from the neighborhood, they helped me to try to remove those who still moved,” he said. “We have managed to recover two that was quickly sent to the hospital,” but then the fire expanded. Joseph Makundi, coordinator of the North-Kivu civil protection, said that at least 25 people had been killed.
The Dornier 228-200 was owned by private carrier Busy Bee and was headed to Beni, about 220 miles north of Goma in the same province.The U.N. mission in Congo said it sent an Emergency Crash and Rescue team with two fire engines to support Congolese authorities. Plane crashes are frequent in the central African nation of 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.
