RNPS IMAGES OF THE YEAR 2008 Rescuers work at the crash site of the Hewa Bora Airways passenger jet in Goma, capital of Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern North Kivu province, April 15, 2008. More than 70 people were killed when a Congolese domestic airliner taking off from the eastern city of Goma crashed into a crowded market district and caught fire, witnesses and officials said. At least six people on board -- including the two pilots and two children -- survived the crash, the local governor said. It was believed other survivors may also have been pulled out.
