CARGO CRARSH

The plane was bound for the South Sudanese town of Paloich, in an area of oil fields in the north of the country. Since this story is developing, the number of people that were on board is yet to be confirmed though reports state about 20 people on board; at least 41 people died including an unknown number of people on the ground with reports of two survivors. The cause of the crash might have been engine failure.
