A Boeing 737 plane carrying 85 people skidded off the runway at the airport in Dakar, Senegal’s capital, injuring 10 people, a statement from the country’s transport minister said in a statement on Thursday.

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.

    Just waiting for the inevitable, iT iS bOeInGs FaUlT.

    Just before anyone tries to say this it was a 737-300. Two generations older than the max.

      The replies in your comment suggest a lot of folks just wanna hate. I get despising a big corp for their cost-cutting measures risking lives, but I don’t get the attacks from when their planes were built better in the past.

      We don’t know what happened with this plane, and knowing the media, it’ll get ignored if it turns out to be a maintenance problem. But lack of evidence be damned, let’s just go by our feelings and blame the big bad corporation.
