A plane carrying 112 people crashed at the airport of Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) on Friday, with at least 53 survivors had been found so far.
About 112 passengers and crew were on board when the crash landing occurred.
Media quoted the aviation company sources as saying that at least 53 survivors had been pulled from the wreckage of the Boeing 727.
Plane crashes in DR Congo are not uncommon. In April, a UN twin jet commuter type aircraft crashed while trying to land in the Kinshasa, killing 32 people. Last year, another plane flown by the Belgian head of a local airline killed at least 20 passengers in its crash in western DR Congo.
