    sudan

    On Wednesday November 4, an Antonov 12 cargo plane leased from Asia Airways (registered EY-406) impacting terrain in the South Sudan. The flight was en route from Juba Airport, South Sudan to Paloich Airport, South Sudan. Three people survived the crash. There were forty fatalities, many of which were on the ground. However, this was a cargo flight, not supposed to have passengers, and the number of passengers may have been more than reported according to officials. The recorded number of those aboard, five crew, and seven passengers, has not been verified.

    The accident occurred just after the cargo flight had taken off from runway 13 at Juba Airport. It impacted near the White Nile river. The site has been secured, and the bodies are being recovered. Plans are underway to recover the black boxes.

    The crew was made up of five Armenians and one Russian. Six passengers were South Sudanese. There may have been one additional foreign passenger, but that information is unclear.
