Nineteen dead after passenger plane crashes into Lake Victoria

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A passenger plane crashed into Lake Victoria only around 100 metres from landing at the nearby airport, killing 19 people.

Local authorities said 26 of the 43 people on board had been rescued and taken to hospital after the crash in Tanzania.

Photos from the scene showed how the plane was mostly submerged in the lake, with passengers having to be pulled from the water.

Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa gave the new death toll, up from an original estimate of three casualties.
