Five Die in Helicopter Crash On Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro

Five people died in a helicopter crash on Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, a popular tourist destination, aviation authorities said.

The accident involving a privately-operated Airbus helicopter operated by Kilimedair, a Tanzanian company that provides medical evacuations and charter flights, occurred on Barafu Camp on Wednesday. The camp on Africa’s highest peak serves as a resting place for climbers before their final push to the summit.
