A small aircraft has crashed in northern Sweden.

The aircraft, a small plane carrying parachutists, crashed in northern Sweden soon after takeoff on Sunday. All nine people aboard were killed.

The accident took place a little after 2 pm local time on Storsandskar island.

According to Swedish media, some of the parachutists were seen trying to jump off the plane just before the crash.

The crashed aircraft was a GippsAero GA8 Airvan, an Australian-made single-engine plane popular with parachutists. The flight took off from Umea airport.

The cause of the crash was not yet known.

The wreckage was found on Storsandskär island, just two kilometres from the airport, in the delta of the Umeå river on Sunday, and an official investigation has been launched by Swedish authorities.

The plane did not carry a black box. As a result, investigators will have to rely on witness statements, an examination of the wreck, and onboard phones and tablets that registered height and position.

The GippsAero GA8 Airvan is a single-engine plane measuring almost nine metres from nose to tail.

It was made in Australia, by a company part of the Mahindra Group.

So, what happened ?
Why dem no fit japa?

RIP.these guys are funny ,they are meant to be parachutists what then stops them from jumping before the crash or is this planned suicide

I don't understand.

The aircraft did not explode mid-air until it collided with the ground.
Why didn't all man on board jump off the aircraft while it was at least one foot away from the ground; just before hitting it? I suppose they would have survived if they had.

It depends on the force with which it was descending.

Does it matter? Knowing fully well you wouldn't survive the crash. Jumping off at a level seemingly close to the ground would be a worthy risk.

These people are either too scared to do a survival stunt or they knowingly went on a suicide mission.

you play stupid games you get stupid prizes. i also notice when white people report brutal death they never show the mangled bodies but black people who have been so dehumanised to animal level are quick to show the mangled bodies of their dead to the world. and yet they wonder why people think they are animals

Indian plane..May there souls RIP

Are you talking about a plane that was probably spinning while crashing down to the ground with speed? You can't jump off a plane when it is approaching the ground while crashing.

Buhari effect everywhere


RIP to the dead

Same reason you can't just jump out of any plane even with parachute.
parachute are used for controlled jumps.
I think only fighter jets has ejection buttons with parachute.
