DAR ES SALAAM (TIP): Two passenger planes carrying tourists crash-landed at the same airport and on the same day in a Tanzanian national park, but officials said everyone on board survived unharmed. The incidents, both involving planes operated by domestic airline Unity Air, took place on November 25 at Mikumi National Park, the Tanzanian park authority known as TANAPA said. A total of 60 passengers, plus seven crew members were on the two flights, it said in separate statements. In the first incident, an Embraer aircraft carrying 30 passengers, two pilots and one flight attendant en route from the holiday island of Zanzibar suffered a “technical problem” when it landed at the park’s Kikoboga airport, the agency said.
