A Tawakal Airlines Cessna 406 Caravan on a cargo flight from Nairobi-Wilson to Mogadishu lost control shortly after takeoff, when an open side window distracted the pilot. The aircraft struck a concrete wall past the runway end, lost its undercarriage and slid about 400 metres. All occupants escaped with minor injuries and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
