At least five people were killed Thursday when a cargo plane crashed into a crowded market in a residential neighborhood near the airport in Congo's capital, police said. Airport officer Appo Ilunga said the Antonov 26 crashed into a market area of the Kingasani neighborhood of Kinshasa around 10:30 a.m. (0930 GMT). He said he did not yet know how many people were aboard the plane.

#2  Is there not enough left after an An-26 crash for a photo? That picture looks like a B-26 to me.

#1  The Antonov 26 is frequently referred to as the "flying coffin." If your plans call for air travel, you may wish to avoid the AN-26.
