Narrative:
The Antonov plane was loaded with about 9 tons of cassiterite (tin oxide) and other minerals at the Kongolo Airport (KOO). Twelve passengers also boarded the flight to Goma (GOM). The three crew members were Ukrainian and Russian. The airplane reportedly developed engine trouble about ten minutes after takeoff. The crew attempted to return to the Kongolo but the airplane contacted trees, crashed and burned short of the runway.
