Horrific: Daallo Airlines Plane Puntures Mid-air, Passengers Thrown Into The Skies (Photos)

These dramatic photos show a gaping hole in the side of a Daallo Airlines plane after it caught fire thousands of feet in the air this morning.

The images have emerged amid claims by African locals that they saw a severely burned body fall from a passing jet several hours ago.

Flight D3159, travelling from Somalia to Djibouti, reportedly set ablaze just five minutes after taking off from Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu.

It was forced to turn around and perform an emergency landing at the Raas Cabaad-based airport, where it was met by emergency crews.
