News and Current Events
Today I’m going to talk about a tragedy.
Ruben and his family were Dutch and coming back from holiday
in South Africa. They were celebrating Rubens' parents 12th
year wedding anniversary, Ruben and his brother Enzo were on spring break.
The air craft they were on was an Airbus A330-200. They were just about to land on the runway when the plane exploded. There were 11 crew and 94 passengers on board, Ruben was the only survivor. When the plane exploded, some of the parts just about hit a nearby house. Ruben was found strapped in his seat, 1km away from the tail. The tail was all that was left of the aircraft. The wreckage of the plane was 140km long.
Ruben had surgery for 4 hours, on both legs. His head, neck and face were not seriously injured. He is resting in hospital, with his Aunty and Uncle visiting him. On Saturday May 15 2010 he still did not know that his family was killed in the crash.
