UTA (Union des Transports Africains de Guinee) flight 141, a Boeing 727 (3X-GDM) bound for
Beirut and Dubai, crashed shortly after taking off from Cotonou (Benin) on 25Dec03.
It is possible that the aircraft was overloaded as it has been reported that the 727 never gained altitude ;
the gear struck the roof of a building as well as the airport fence before breaking up on the shoreline.

This is an ex. AA plane & what's so sorry about UTA is that they never painted the aircraft. Maybe they didnt get the time to or something.
