The 2003 Congo air disaster occurred on 8 May 2003 when a cargo door of an Ilyushin Il-76 owned by Ukrainian Cargo Airways accidentally opened mid-flight while the aircraft was flying over Mbuji-Mayi with more than 160 people on board. The flight was conducting a civilian transport from Kinshasa in the southwest of the country to Lubumbashi in the southeast. Seventeen people were confirmed dead by the Congolese government, while officials estimated that 60 lost their lives. Survivors even claimed a higher number of fatalities, claiming that as many as 200 people were sucked out to their deaths.

  • L'accident de l'Iliouchine Il-76 en République démocratique du Congo se produisit le 8 mai 2003 lorsque la porte de soute arrière d'un Iliouchine Il-76 de l'Armée ukrainienne affrété par l'Armée congolaise, parti de Kinshasa à destination de Lubumbashi, s'ouvre au-dessus du Kasaï près de Mbujimayi et déstabilise l'avion, précipitant dans le vide (à environ 2.000 mètres d'altitude) quelque 160 des 200 personnes présentes dans la soute. L'avion fit demi-tour et put atterrir à Kinshasa sans incident. Les décomptes officiels des victimes font état de 7 ou 14 victimes. (fr)
