Although I know that more than 116 died today on US raods, I will pray for those lost, and their families, tonight.
And, Bruce, I also hopethe cause is not uncommanded rudder movement but is matters not to several thousand tonight.

From what FoxNews.com said, there was only one survivor, a child. Sounds like NW 255 where only one child survived as well. Very odd how 116 people can die, and yet one person is stated to be in "good" condition.

Perhaps we might thank our respective deities that 1 survived? If true that will be great news. Telling many that there loved ones died would take the juice out of anyone, being able to tell someone that the child they love is alive, would be pure gold.

Doubt the rudder had much to do with it since the crash was reported to have happened on takeoff.

What about the child. He or she may have lost both his/her parents or even entire family in the crash. Either way (s)he will allways live with the trauma of not only a fiery crash but also of being the SOLE survivor. I don't know why I should thank god for such a crewl joke that he played on this child....

Norwegian Broadcasting, NRK,(http://www.nrk.no) reports that Sudan Radio reports that it was a B737-200 and 105 passengers and 11 crewmembers are dead.
11 crew on a B737-200??

I don't know about you but i would thank my god for the rest of my life if i was the sole survivor of anything. Sure, loosing your family is hell but i would personally rather survive than die in a crash like that. The child will meet his/her family in due time. Everyone will.

Belgian news also says that the 737-200 reported engine problems before he crashed and was on it's return to the airport. All this, shortly after take off.

Sudan Airways had three 737-200s; their own ST-AFK, built in 1975 and 2 leased from Tunis Air TS-IOE and TS-IOF both in full colours and built in 1981. I think it's likely it was one of the Tunisian birds, as these are seen more often lately. Their own 'AFK is older and noisier and might be parked already. But again; only guessing, wait for official reports of the identity.
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

The plane's captain reported technical problems with the aircraft shortly before it crashed in a desolate area about five kilometres (three miles) away from Port Sudan airport, Sudanese radio said.
"The plane took off this morning. Minutes later the pilot contacted [airport officials] to say there were difficulties and that he would return to the airport in Port Sudan," Sudan's minister of state for aviation, Mohammed Hassan al-Bahi, told the station.
"The plane crashed while trying to land at the airport."

That's very sad - 116 dead. May those who died rest in peace and their loved ones come to terms with their loss. It is a miracle that the child survived - he would certainly be thankful for that once he realizes that fact.

What now?

26 Captjetblast: How in the world can a child survive and be in "good condition" from such a fiery crash and subsequent fire?
27 Backfire: I think it's likely it was one of the Tunisian birds Nope. I've had confirmation that the crashed aircraft is ST-AFK, owned by Sudan Airways.
28 Wirraway: ABC News Australia Sudan's air defence chief among victims in plane crash The head of Sudan's air defence forces as well as at least seven foreigners
