Trans Air Congo AN-12BP TF-AGK on final approach to runway 17 at PNR 3 miles from touchdown, performed a extreme bank to starboard - then rolled onto it's back and crashed.

Airline is on the banned EU list of unsafe airlines. Fatalities include the crew of 4, 5 passengers which the aircraft isn't approved for, and at least 14 and possibly more - on the ground.

Looks like the AN-12 + Congo = poopstorm: 3 crashes since 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An ... _incidents
