Rescue efforts underway following plane crash in Malawi

There was a plane accident in Malawi Tuesday afternoon involving a C210-type aircraft with three foreign passengers on board. Information Minister Moses Kunkuyu says the plane went down in Lake Malawi, and that a female passenger survived the accident with minor injuries. Malawian Vice President Saulos Chilima died in a plane crash along with eight other Malawians in June. Kunkuyu tells VOA’s James Butty that rescue efforts were underway.
