At least 19 people were killed Sunday after a passenger plane crash-landed in Lake Victoria while trying, amid bad weather, to reach a nearby airport in Tanzania, the country’s prime minister Kassim Majaliwa and police said.
Thirty-nine passengers, including an infant, and four crew members were aboard when the small plane went down around 8:53 a.m. local time, Precision Air said in a statement.
Twenty-six people aboard the flight from Das es Salaam were rescued from the water and hospitalized.
