You can quite legally have 24 people on a 1900 as long as three of them are infants sitting on someones lap with the appropriate lap strap. I'm not saying this is the case, just a possibility, however I do think it much more likely that the reporters got the wrong number, it would be unusual if they didn't.

Routing
C Dog,
Am fine thanks.
In the book they showed a routing HSSJ-HSWW-HSSJ. Zero Pax in and "TBA" pax out. Tower confirmed 19+2
They did not uplift any fuel in HSWW
After the initial inspection of the crash site by SAR team, they requested 21 body bags, so I guess that should put the number on board arguement to rest, at least for the time being.

B1900 Crash
Hi guys,
I was flying around there with a van at time if the accident,they lost one engine at about 16000ft,they descended and guess what in about a minute the other engine was wind milling,they just had double engine failure,heavy rain and thunderstorm around there at that tym.they said they could not maintain altitude and have to put it down,within seconds may day call and something like stall warner was sounding.may bad fuel in sudan.
RIP

Sudan fuel
Double engine failiure or possibly shut the live motor down in error. Not sure how those things glide fully loaded. A King Air will.Fuel could be investigated. Just heard from an EBB that they actually uplifted 1500ltrs of "ghost" fuel in Juba two months ago. Got airborne, saw the guages come live and show exactly as they were on touchdown into Juba !. Bowser with faulty pumps etc. ?. All sorts of possiblities and much to be learnt.

FLE or FLX
There are two possibilities:
1. NTSB provides an incorrect information about the registration (most probable IMHO)
2. Flex Air has just acquired the new aircraft (which became 5Y-FLE)

Sudan Wx
Blue Jay - interesting to get more confirmation the Wx was off that day. We forget just how merciful it is most of the time. Almost a year to the day after KQ in Douala drew so much weather related speculation it makes you sit up and think ..

Coleman, weather that day was terrible i left Juba on Dash -8 to Rumbek ,
only to find visibility down to next to nothing ,heavy rain , strong winds attempted to land ,no chance went back to Juba , you are probably aware you cannot predict the weather in Africa ,one minute its clear blue skies the next Horrendous Storms ,
Unfortunatley the aircraft which went down was operated by Flex ,carrying Government officials and Chartered , case being no manifest and probably overloaded ??????????????
but we will never find out the real outcome
