A Boeing 737 aircraft carrying 85 passengers skidded off the runway at Dakar Airport, Senegal's capital, resulting in 10 injuries, as reported by the transport minister. Disturbing footage shared by a passenger, Malian musician Cheick Siriman Sissoko, depicted the aircraft ablaze with passengers evacuating via emergency slides. Transport Minister El Malick Ndiaye confirmed that the Air Senegal flight, operated by TransAir, was en route to Bamako, Mali, with 79 passengers, two pilots, and four cabin crew aboard late Wednesday.
