Plane crashes into shops in Kenya, kills four

A cargo plane crashed into a commercial building in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, shortly after taking off from the city’s main airport on Wednesday and the four crew members on board were feared dead, the Kenyan Airports Authority said.

KAA said on its Twitter feed that all the crew members were “feared to have perished” after the plane crashed into shops in Nairobi’s Embekasi neighborhood.

Television footage showed the tail and wings of a white plane ripped in half outside a smoldering two-story building left mangled by the force of the impact.
