Malawi Vice President Killed | Wreckage Of Military Plane Carrying Saulos Chilima Is Found | G18V

Malawi's President has confirmed that his Vice President Saulos Chilima and nine others were killed in a plane crash. The wreckage of the military plane carrying Chilima was located in a mountainous area in the north of the country after a search that lasted more than a day. There were no survivors of the crash. The plane carrying 51-year-old Vice President Saulos Chilima and former first lady Shanil Dzimbiri went missing while making the 45-minute flight from the southern African nation's capital, Lilongwe, to the city of Mzuzu, around 370 kilometers (230 miles) to the north. Air traffic controllers told the plane not to attempt a landing at Mzuzu's airport because of bad weather and poor visibility and asked it to turn back to Lilongwe. Air traffic control then lost contact with the aircraft and it disappeared from radar. Seven passengers and three military crew members were on board. The president described the aircraft as a small, propeller driven plane operated by the Malawian armed forces. The tail number he provided shows it is a Dornier 228-type twin propeller plane that was delivered to the Malawian army in 1988.

[@ChenchukrishnaT-jr2rf]

My opinion is that the Vice President is against the American country and that is why this accident happened
