AN-12 Crash at Luanda
Apparently a AN-12 crashed this morning at Luanda airport on the runway, and some aircraft diverted to Point Noire and Kinshasa. Some1 got any further news?

There was an AN-12 that attempted takeoff yesterday from BZV heading that way. It aborted its takeoff roll when 1 of its engines failed, sending the aircraft swerving down the runway. It taxied back to the stand right in front of us. Not sure what happened after that, or if this is the accident aircraft in question.
This morning it seems it turned to start the takeoff roll and the right undercarriage collapsed and blocking the runway.
It was moved by brute force several hours later and is beside the taxiway.
Another dead AN12 to be stripped for parts.
In Cabinda an IL-18 had an aborted takeoff and is beside the fence at the end of the runway.

RWY 23 was blocked for a number of hours... How long I am not sure. We got to Luanda and all was well, for Luanda anyway. The A/C is lying between RWY 23 & 25, lying on its right side, no one really saying too much here. Will see if I can get more news later.
