A
small ambulance plane evacuating an ill French woman from Burkina Faso
to Senegal mysteriously disappeared on Sunday with seven people on
board.
According to U.S News & World Report,
Senegalese and French authorities said the crews of a ship and two
planes were scouring an area off the Atlantic coast of Senegal for signs
of the wreckage.
The report further states:
Magueye Maram, an official with the Senegalese Aviation Authority,
said that the plane lost contact late Saturday. It disappeared from the
radar when it was 111 kilometers (69 miles) west of Senegal’s seaside
capital, Dakar.
In addition to the
patient, the plane was carrying a Senegalese doctor, two nurses and the
three-person crew of the Senegalair-operated flight.
French
diplomatic officials in Paris are in contact with the family of the
patient, according to a French diplomatic official who spoke on
condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to speak to journalists
