737 Down In Sudan
The Associated Press is reporting that a Sudanese jetliner -- reportedly a Boeing 737 -- crashed early Tuesday killing at least 105 passengers and 11 crewmembers. One child survived, the Sudan News Agency reported via AP.
Press reports say the 737 was on a domestic flight from the Port Sudan airport to the capital, Khartoum, when its captain reported trouble and it crashed during takeoff, Sudan Airways director Ahmed Ismail Zuwary, told the news agency.
The plane crashed in an empty area near the Port Sudan airport on the Red Sea, it said.
