Death toll in Tanzania plane crash jumps to 19

DAR ES SALAAM — The death toll from a passenger plane that crashed into Lake Victoria in Tanzania on Sunday has jumped to 19, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa said, after the Precision Air flight plunged into water while approaching the northwestern city of Bukoba.

"All Tanzanians are with you in mourning the 19 people who lost lives during this accident," Majaliwa told a crowd after arriving at Bukoba airport, where the flight had been scheduled to land from financial capital Dar es Salaam. — Agence France-Presse
