Spoke with one of the guys who performed the rescue. This was a pretty nasty accident. That road isn't the best either depending on conditions. Yes I used to live there.

A SUDAN Airways Airbus skidded off the runway and caught fire after landing at Khartoum airport in foul weather early today, killing at least 28 people.
