An Antonov An-26 cargo aircraft, operated by True Aviation as Flight 21, crashed in the Bay of Bengal, five minutes after takeoff from Cox's Bazar Airport,[2] Bangladesh, on 9 March 2016. The aircraft was transporting a cargo of shrimp to Jessore when one of the engines failed shortly after takeoff. The airplane impacted the water at 9:05, as it attempted to return to the airport. Local fishermen first spotted the debris and alerted authorities.[3][4][5]
