We sincerely hope we wont be blogging about plane crashes but this particular one is interesting because of the plane involved, an Antonov (picture shown) which accounts for nearly half of all the accidents that have take place in Africa in the past decade. And mostly in the Congo DRC.
A cargo plane crash landed and caught fire at Khartoum airport but no one was killed, civil aviation officials said on Thursday. The Antonov 12 cargo plane belonging to the privately owned Juba Air Cargo company took off for the south Sudan capital of Juba but due to technical problems had to return to Khartoum, officials said. "The plane landed outside the civilian airport close to the military airport," a Sudanese Civil Aviation official said. "It is burnt but all the crew are well," he added.
