29 Dead, 14 Missing in Sudan Plane Crash

29 people have been confirmed dead and 14 are still missing following an explosion on a Sudan Airways flight that landed in Khartoum on Tuesday.

 

Officials have had a difficult time determining the numbers of survivors, as passengers who were able to escape the burning plane immediately fled the airport.

 

Khartoum police indicated “a defect” in the Airbus a310 caused it to burst into flames. Witnesses had reported, though, that the pilot was experiencing limited visibility following a big sandstorm earlier in the day.

 

203 passengers and 14 crew members were inbound from Amman, Jordan, and the plane was taxiing down the runway after having landed safely when the fire broke out.
