The black box of the deadly AMREF plane that crashed in Mwihoko, Kiambu County on Thursday has been found, with officials from the Ministry of Transport expected to try to get information from him about the possible cause of the incident. This while the investigation into the fatal plane crash continues, with investigators recording information from the victims of the crash as well as going through the crime scene to gather more evidence. 

Among those who copied the information are the family members of the two victims who died when the plane crashed into their house. Rahab Wamuyu lost her husband when a Cessna 5Y-FDM passenger car crashed into their rented house. The effects of the destruction brought down the entire house, and the loss of the life of her husband who was sleeping. He was bedridden, suffering from injuries after faking death in a fatal road accident at some point in the background. Unfortunately, this time when the plane crashed, he died of impact. “While I was at work I got a phone call and was told that a plane had crashed while I was living.

 At the next house, 12-year-old Yvonne Nasimiyu was at home preparing lunch for her siblings. His mother tells how she received the sad news of the plane crash while she was continuing her activities. As a single mother who was always trying to raise her family, she has suffered a serious tragedy. The pain and burden are great for him. "I have raised my children alone. 

I have fought with them as a single mother. Sai I have hit and I don know where to start, where to finish everything was ruined there, my childrens birth certificates and also business clothes," Mercy Nafula said. Nearby homes felt the impact of the air crash as well. Several houses were destroyed as parts of the plane entered their houses while the plane caught fire before falling. An example is Margaret Wairimus house which was completely destroyed and burnt down. 

He is lucky that he had left his house less than 10 minutes before the plane crash happened. For those who were hit by plane parts while in their homes, they will live to tell this sad event. Many of them suffered serious injuries, puncture and other bodily injuries. Abigail Favors 17-year-old brother has disappeared after the incident. "I injured my leg, because after the engine crashed, parts were splashed in the house by fire," said Abigail. Two bodies of an adult and a child found at the scene have been kept in the City mortuary awaiting investigation. The deadly Cessna plane had four people who died as well, and their bodies are kept at Lee Funeral Home. The four are a pilot, a doctor and two nurses working with AMREF.

On Friday morning, investigators went through the scene and found several important exhibits that are important for their investigation. Among the items found was the spacecrafts black box which, after being scanned, will produce a significant result of what the pilot contacted the air traffic control team as a possible cause of the crash. Officers also recovered several bodies from the neighborhood; other body parts were found hanging in trees and on top of houses, indicating those on the plane may have died before the plane hit the ground. Fred Kabunge, Director of the Air Accident Investigation Unit, said: "We found the black box ... of course it was not found here ... the security team that was the first to respond here took it but they didn know it was a black box." 

Eyewitnesses say they saw the wreckage of the plane burning in the air before it crashed. The Kiambu County Government, however, has hinted at the possibility of cooperation with AMREF to address the immediate needs of those affected. "We have taken it and we will be helping them to work now, in accommodation and treatment and advice," said Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi. Prior to the air crash, the aircraft had departed Wilson Airport en route to Hargeisa in Somaliland for rescue work. Unfortunately, the journey ended here.
