Man Reportedly Sucked Out of Somali Passenger Plane After Midair Explosion
A Daallo Airlines flight had been in the air over Somalia for only five minutes when a hole opened in the fuselage, sucking one man out of the plane and killing him.
The middle-aged man’s charred body was found in the Balcad area of Somalia, roughly 30 miles north of the city of Mogadishu, where the plane made an emergency landing after the explosion. Two others aboard the plane were injured.
The video below, taken immediately after the explosion, shows a surprisingly calm plane considering that one passenger had, you know, just flown out of the cabin.
Per Reuters, the source of the explosion was a bomb, though not much more beyond that seems to be known. No terror group has yet claimed responsibility.
