A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.
Meditation XVII - (with apologies to) John Donne

Sudanese Airliner crashes in Khartoum

In a dust storm with limited visibility, a Sudanese Airbus en route from Amman and Syria turns into a fireball after landing in Khartoum. Half of the 217 passengers and the 14 crew members are feared dead.

As they were instructed to taxi, the plane exploded. An undermined number of passengers survived. Flames consumed the fuselage and cockpit. More News coming soon.
