In a shocking turn of events, a plane operated by the local airline StarSky has tragically crashed into the Indian Ocean just moments after taking off, with 55 passengers on board.
This unfortunate incident unfolded shortly after the aircraft departed from Aden Adde International Airport in Somalia. As it ascended from Runway 23, the plane encountered severe technical issues that prevented it from gaining the necessary altitude to stay airborne.
Witnesses positioned near Jasiira beach reported seeing the plane flying alarmingly low before it skimmed across the shallow waters and made contact with the shoreline. Eyewitness accounts describe a tense scene as the aircraft seemed to struggle mid-air, ultimately landing on the beach itself. Photos taken from the scene show the plane’s wing completely separated from its body, creating a dramatic image that has drawn significant attention.
According to airport officials, the aircraft was attempting to return to Mogadishu when it veered off course during its landing approach
