A number of CITIZENS have lined up to help save the precision air plane from sinking into the water after falling into lake Victoria a few seconds before landing at Bukoba airport.

Although rescue agencies are using boats and winches to pull the plane that crashed at 2:35 in the morning, citizens have joined together to help pull the plane with a rope.

The Commander of the Police Force in Kagera region, William Mwampaghale has confirmed earlier that the passengers in the plane have been rescued.

Precision Airlines has not been able to release any information so far.
