Two Boeing 737 planes were involved in crashes at different airports on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
A Boeing 737 carrying 79 passengers was seriously damaged when it skidded off the tarmac and into the bush at Blaise Diagne airport near Senegal’s capital city of Dakar Thursday, according to the AP.
The plane caught fire after it crashed following a failed take-off attempt, according to the Aviation Safety Network.
El Malick Ndiaye, the transport minister, said the Air Sénégal flight operated by TransAir was headed to Bamako late on Wednesday carrying 79 passengers, two pilots and four cabin crew.
