MAN I predict plane crash

A military plane carrying the vice-president of Malawi and nine other people has gone missing and a search is underway, President Lazarus Chakwera's office said on Monday.

"All efforts to make contact with the aircraft since it went off radar have failed thus far," a statement read, adding that President Chakwera has ordered "an immediate search and rescue operation to locate the whereabouts of the aircraft."
