'Child' survives as 100 feared dead in Libya plane crash

One person believed to be a 10-year-old boy survived a passenger plane crash in Libya. That was feared to have killed more than 100 people, an official said Wednesday 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 Foreign ministry said it had a representative at the hospital waiting to identify the boy, believed to be a Dutch national. He apparently suffered bone injuries. The plane was carrying 93 passengers and 11 crew members when it crashed while trying to land at the Tripoli International Airport. Libya's state news agency said 96 bodies had been recovered.



This is amazing that a child with less bone structure than any adult survived this horrific plane crash. I don't understand with the technology now a days how a plane even crashes, these pilots need to be under more drug and alcohol tests, because there's no way they should ever crash one of these planes, you basically dont even drive them anymore there all on computerized lines to where they need to be, besides taking off and landing its on cruise control the whole way. There wasn't even any bad weather in the area so there wasn't any turbulence happening so this plane went down just by driver error I believe which is ridiculous because they have to go through intense training to get there pilots license, and yet they still do this and kill 96 passengers that were innocent probably going on business or coming back from vacation.
