"A plane has crash-landed near South Sudan’s airport shortly after taking off. Conflicting reports suggest that up to 40 people have been killed on board and on the ground.


The crashed plane may have had about 20 crew and passengers, two of which survived, according to the South Sudanese president’s spokesman. Also, others on the ground may have been killed.

Reuters says its eyewitness has counted over 40 bodies at the crash site, but it is unclear how many of those were on board."

A short comment but all i can say is Hmmmm .

It is being stated that the plane was travelling towards Paloich, in the Upper Nile region..

Hmmm, guess the last few years' practice in compromising aircraft are paying off.

It's all planes these days. I don't think all these plane troubles are coincidence.

Makes you wonder if "heat flashes" will have been picked up by U.S military satellites again before that plane went down too.......

It is still unclear how many persons were actually on board the aircraft; I a portion of the deceased are probably Somali civilians who were near and around the Juba Airport where the plane crashed.

Yes wow, a severe coincidence.
Bad things happen in threes.

One more and the bear gets angry as hell and may do rash things.

Screw it. Have fun speculating.

It was probably shot down. . . . .

The plane was a Soviet Union built, 45 years old, Antonov-12, owned by a Sudanese company.

Crash landed? I'd say that was a full-on crash.
