Tourists Among 11 Dead in Kenya Crash

Eleven people, mostly foreign tourists, died when a Mombasa Air Safari plane crashed in Kwale, Kenya, early Tuesday en route to the Maasai Mara. The airline said eight Hungarian and two German passengers and the Kenyan pilot were killed. The aircraft went down in a hilly, forested area about 25 miles from Diani airstrip; the pilot failed to make contact after departure, and controllers tried to reach him for 30 minutes. Investigators are probing the cause amid rainy, misty conditions. The wreckage burned, and witnesses reported a loud bang.
