Circumstances:
The four engine aircraft departed Kisangani Airport on a cargo flight to Goma, carrying 7 crew members and a load consisting of minerals. As the aircraft failed to arrive in Goma, SAR operations were initiated but eventually abandoned a week later. In November 2012, the debris of an Antonov AN-12 were found by the team of the TL2 Project, a team led by Dr. Terese Hart, in a dense wooded area about 210 km south of Kisangani.
