A plane crashed into the wall of the VIP departure lounge at an airport in Rwanda on November 12, 2009. The plane was making an emergency landing at the airport.
The crash happened at the Kigali Airport in Rwanda. Four persons had serious injuries. One person was killed. The woman who was killed was from Rwanda. The four injured persons are from Uganda.
The plane is operated by Rwandair but is owned by JetLink Express.
The 57-seater had recently shown technical problems.
The crash is said to have been caused by a problem with the plane’s generator.
The plane had taken off from Kigali airport, and then started experiencing problems. The pilot was asked to land the plane two minutes after it had taken off. It had just made the emergency landing and was being guided by marshals into the parking area, when it suddenly increased to one hundred percent power and took an unexplained right turn into the building. Everyone except the co-pilot was taken out of the plane and transported to King Faisal Hospital.
The plane’s co-pilot remained trapped in the plane for more than 4 hours after the crash.
The passengers included former Ugandan finance minister Gerald Sendawula.
The chairman of Picfare-Jobanputra Kishor- who was also on the plane, was evacuated to South Africa. Picfare is Uganda’s largest printed paper-products services provider and several managers from the company were on the plane.
Picfare is the sole government-licensed security printer in Uganda, printing cheques, dividend warrants, etc. The company has clientele in Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Congo.
Richard Mubiru, who is the director of Picfare, said “There was panic in the cockpit because the pilot could not control the speed at which the aircraft was moving. There was confusion, we scampered for our lives.”
He said that the only way the pilot could stop the plane was by ramming it into the wall.
The pilot is in critical condition.

What a tragedy but well written.
I can’t understand how the plane got out of control like that and I don’t think there has been any follow up report to the public.
whoa, so bad it happened.
The way it happened concerned the authorities.
