What: Tarco Airlines Antonov AN-24 en route from Nyala to Zalingei
Where: Zalingei City, Darfur, Suden
When: Nov 11th 2010
Who: 44 passengers and 6 crew
Why: A plane on a peacekeeping mission landed, apparently with an explosion on the side of the plane; two tires burst and caught fire. The fire resulted in from 6 to 15 fatalities, 6 injured. Rported numbers on casualties vary greatly. It is also reported that only 11 survived and that only 6 were killed. CNN did not mention a peacekeeping mission, but said the passengers were returning for a holy day with their families at the end of Ramadan.
