Briton killed in Sudan plane crash
But toddler’s survives after being pulled from wreckage of Boeing 737
One British man is believed to have been among 115 people killed in a plane crash in Sudan yesterday – but rescuers are hailing the survival of a two-year-old boy as a miracle.
The Sudan Airways Boeing 737 came down near Port Sudan airport on the Red Sea coast as it flew towards the country’s capital Khartoum; reports suggest it had travelled less that three miles before it crashed.
The Foreign and Commonwealth has confirmed that a British man who had been working in Sudan was on board but no further details have yet been released. A spokesman for the Sudan government has stated that the two-year-old, who lost a leg in the crash, is in hospital and doing well despite everything he has been through.
The BBC News website reports that at least seven foreign nationals – three Indians, one Briton, a Chinese, an Ethiopian, and a United Arab Emirates national – were killed in the crash.
