Busia

As you can see , very conflicting reports as for the causes .Initially , from eye witnesses the airplane did take off and then hit cables .The thing astonishing all pilots knowing busia airstrip is that a) somebody decided to send a G1 there (we don't even allow a C--310 anymore-runway conditions dictate a caravan relatively light).
b) that the crew managed to land at all .
Two pilots are dead , ID of the co-driver still unknown .Cabin crew alive with bad injuries .1 pax dead and 9 injured (various degs).
One medivac from the airstrip managed at about 830 pm by an AMREF caravan , the rest by Police airwing helicopters later .
sad,sad,sad
