A MAN was killed when a cargo aircraft crashed on takeoff at Dondo airfield, Angola last week, but he had nothing to do with the aircraft itself.
The plane developed engine trouble as it left the ground and ploughed back onto the runway. All aboard survived, but a man who had stopped near the runway to urinate was killed by a flying portion of the undercarriage!
