Non-MJ: 1 child survives plane crash in Libya

[MJJ1982]

(CNN) -- A Dutch child is believed to be the only survivor of a passenger plane crash in Libya Wednesday that may have killed more than 100 people, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said.

The plane was carrying 93 passengers and 11 crew members when it crashed while trying to land at the Tripoli International Airport.

The boy was undergoing surgery at a hospital in the Libyan capital of Tripoli after the Afriqiyah Airways plane that left Johannesburg crashed as it neared the end of its flight.

The Dutch ministry said it had a representative at the hospital waiting to identify the boy, believed to be age 10. He apparently suffered bone injuries.

What happened is so sad and horrible.  

And it's really a miracle that one child survived the crash. It happened before in planecrashes that nobody survives except a child. I guess the Angels where protecting them.

[RK]

Poor little man. I pray peace and protection around about him. Keep him safe and comfort him Heavenly Father.

I always wonder why the "angels" in those situations don't work a bit harder and protect all the other innocent lives.

I always wonder why the "angels" in those situations don't work a bit harder and protect all the other innocent lives.

How cruel it may sound but maybe because the others were destined to die.

I am afraid money is too blame again. We don't know the details yet, but this is what they told us:

The plane was only a year old.
The flight company is sponsored by the government and isn't profitable because it's cheap, it only costs money.
By looking at the crash scene it seems there wasn't much fire.

I think they calculated the kerosine and mis calculate. I wonder if we will ever hear the true cause. Ruben (the boy that survived miraculously) really had a guardian angel. I hope he will eventually learn to live with it.

Sad story his family died. My heart goes out to him and the rest of the families.

[Styloprincess]

That is really sad and my thoughts and prayers go out to those families...really tragic
