Sudan plane crash kills dozens
KHARTOUM, Sudan: A Sudan Airways plane burst into flames after landing at Khartoum airport on Tuesday, killing at least 28 of the 217 people on board, the head of the airport's medical services said.
Major General Muhammad Osman Mahjoub said that the authorities had counted 123 survivors, and that 66 people were unaccounted for.
Sudanese television showed film of the aircraft ablaze in the darkness while emergency workers aimed water hoses on the burning fuselage. The airliner, identified by the broadcaster as an Airbus, was carrying 203 passengers and 14 crew members.
"The operation to recover bodies from the plane is going on now," the police deputy director general, Al Adel Ajeb, told Sudan Television.
One passenger said the plane, which had flown from Amman, Jordan, had tried to land at Khartoum airport "but then the captain told us we couldn't land because of bad weather."

He said they then flew to the Red Sea city of Port Sudan before returning to Khartoum an hour later. When the plane "tried to land there was a crash," the passenger told Sudan Television.
At the time of the landing, a dust storm in the Sudanese capital was restricting visibility, residents said.
Another survivor, Al Hajj Bashir, said the landing in Khartoum was "not normal" and described "an explosion in the right wing" two or three minutes after the plane landed.
Mabrouk Mubarak Salim, minister of state for transportation, said there was an explosion in the right side of the engine. "So far we don't have precise information but we think the weather is a main reason for what happened," he said.
At its height, the fire, which was later put out, appeared to be consuming the fuselage and cockpit. Television pictures showed emergency escape chutes deployed at the side of the blazing aircraft. Ambulances drove on to the tarmac.
The civil aviation spokesman said the pilot was slightly injured and all but one of the crew members had been found alive.
"The task of counting the survivors has been complicated because in the alarm and confusion they dispersed and some of them seem to have left the airport area," he added.
The airport director, Yusuf Ibrahim, told Sudanese television the cause of the fire was not yet clear.
"Whether it is a technical reason, we don't know yet," he said. "The plane was coming from Amman and Syria. It landed safely at Khartoum airport and they talked to the control tower which told them where to taxi. At this moment an explosion happened."
