“All Tanzanians join you in mourning these 19 people … who have lost their lives,” Majaliwa told reporters in the northwestern city of Bukoba, where the plane was approaching the airport before it plunged into water.Local authorities and the airline earlier said that 26 survivors out of the 43 people on board flight PW 494 had been pulled to safety and taken to hospital in Bukoba, a lakeside city in the Kagera region.“There is a possibility that two people were not onboard but died during the rescue effort.”Precision Air, Tanzania’s largest privately-owned airline, said it had dispatched rescuers to the scene.“We have managed to save quite a number of people,” Kagera province police Commander William Mwampaghale told journalists earlier in the day.Everything is under control.”News reports showed photos of the plane mostly submerged in the lake with only its green- and brown-coloured tail visible above the water line."
