From the BBC Website:
A plane has crashed in the west of the Democratic Republic of Congo, killing 19 people, officials say.
Two people survived the crash, the police chief in Bandundu province told AP news agency.
A UN spokesman told Reuters the plane had crashed into a house near Bandundu town's airstrip.
DR Congo, the size of western Europe and with few roads after decades of civil war, has one of the world's worst air safety records.
UN spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai said a number of people on board and on the ground had been killed.
The police said that 19 bodies had been pulled from the crash site.
According to AP, the plane was operated by the local air carrier Filair and was en route to Bandundu from the centre of the country.
It was then due to continue to the capital, Kinshasa.

FAO P Miller. I'm a friend of Chris's older brother. As you'll appreciate the family are very upset at the moment but when I last spoke to him they had little information, how would they contact you if they wanted to speak to you?
