13 dead as cargo plane crashes in Congo

August 26, 2007 

An Antonov cargo plane has crashed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing 13 people on board. 
The plane had just taken off from Kongolo, Katanga with a cargo of tin ore when the aircraft developed engine problems, causing the Russian pilot to attempt to return for an emergency landing. However, the plane instead crashed short of the runway, busting into flames. 
Although 13 have been confirmed dead, the bodies two of whom have not been recovered, two people were rescued from the aircraft before it caught fire. The pair, one a young child and the other a man in his twenties, are being treated in a local hospital.
