The plane crashed into houses in Goma city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The aircraft crashed in the Mapendo neighbourhood after “missing” its take-off from the city’s international airport, North Kivu regional governor Nzanzu Kasivita said. He said there had been deaths, but did not give a number. Residents on the ground were among the casualties, local media reported. Air accidents are relatively frequent in DR Congo amid lax safety standards and poor maintenance, and all the country’s commercial carriers are banned from operating in the European Union. © 2019, maritimemag.
