A passenger plane carrying 85 people crashed into a crowded neighborhood in the eastern Congo town of Goma on Tuesday, and only six survivors have been found so far, government officials said, according to AP. Smoke engulfed the charred ruins of the aircraft, which appeared to have broken in two when it slammed into the rooftops of about 10 cement homes just outside the airport, destroying them instantly. Soldiers kept onlookers away as U.N. peacekeepers helped douse flames at the crash site. Officials said they had no information on casualties among residents of the area. Julien Mpaluku, the governor of the province, said there were 79 passengers onboard and six crew members.
