2 killed in midair plane collision above Nairobi National Park, Kenya police say

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Two planes collided midair above the Nairobi National Park, sending the smaller plane crashing in the park and killing two people. That’s according to a police report Tuesday. The bigger plane, a Dash 8 with 44 people on board, was heading to the coastal resort town of Diani. Safarilink Aviation, the operating airline, says crew members reported a loud bang soon after takeoff from Wilson Airport and decided to turn back. A police report said the Dash 8 had collided with a Cessna 172 operated by 99 Flying School with two people on board, who were in a training session.
