Danger 406 crash in Mwanza

Hi guys, just got word Auric Air's 406 crashed in Mwanza. Two pilots were on a training flight doing touch and go's. After take off the controler reported the the aircraft made a sharp turn and flew into one of the surrounding hills. Both pilots were killed and the aircraft caught fire. No word yet as to the cause of the crash. Both boddies have been extracted from the wreckage.

Thoughts go out to their friends and families. Names witheld out of respect for them.
