hey

also on www.jetphotos.net i found this

Hewa Bora Airways (Kinshasa) suffered a serious crash this morning involving its DC-9-51 S9-DBH (msn 47731). The aircraft was departing the Congolese town of Goma when it crashed into a crowded residential area shortly after takeoff. Initial reports put the estimated casualty toll at 78 or more, and say the aircraft may have been overloaded.

From what I heard the plane never left the ground. Could be any number of reasons for what caused it after looking through the DC-9 history. There's 123 records on the NTSB database (both minor and major), not including this latest one in Congo.
