The wreckage of Flight KQ507 has been reached by emergency workers in swamps. It is now confirmed that there are no survivors of the Kenya Airways jet, of those were 5 Britons.
It’s said that the plane was all buried under the swamp, which made the wreckage hard to find.
The plane had taken off from Douala on its way to Nairobi when a distress signal was sent from the plane before disappearing off the radar. The aircraft was located 12 miles from the town’s outskirts in a forest.
A local resident assisting officials in searching for the crash site reported he had seen one body and a body part.
The cause of the plane going down has not yet been established. Patrick Smith a US based airline pilot and aviation expert said: "Whatever happened must have happened very fast, which is usually a sign of catastrophic structural failure".
The aircraft was only 6 months old and had no history of problems. Investigations are continuing to establish the cause of the crash.
