Non-MJ: 1 child survives plane crash in Libya
(CNN) -- A Dutch child is believed to be the only survivor of a passenger plane crash in Libya Wednesday that may have killed more than 100 people, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said.
The plane was carrying 93 passengers and 11 crew members when it crashed while trying to land at the Tripoli International Airport.
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 ministry said it had a representative at the hospital waiting to identify the boy, believed to be age 10. He apparently suffered bone injuries.

It's a miracle that the kid has survived the crash, you can't imagine that someone came out alive when you see the footage...

A very sad day in the Netherlands with 61 Dutch people died today ... <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
and offcourse also the other passagers.
Then Mike was right <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
A sad day indeed <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
And it's really a miracle that one child survived the crash. It happened before in planecrashes that nobody survives except a child. I guess the Angels where protecting them.
How cruel it may sound but maybe because the others were destined to die. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
The plane was only a year old.
The flight company is sponsored by the government and isn't profitable because it's cheap, it only costs money.
By looking at the crash scene it seems there wasn't much fire.
I think they calculated the kerosine and mis calculate. I wonder if we will ever hear the true cause. Ruben (the boy that survived miraculously) really had a guardian angel. I hope he will eventually learn to live with it.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."When I turned on the tv and I saw it, the first thing that went through my mind was: Explosion.
The plane is ripped apart in little fragments, with only the tale intact.
One witness talks about fireballs coming out of the plane before the crash.
It all happend in a split second.
The little boy doesn't remember anything about it.
Makes you wonder ... <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
Theres no way that plane just crashed. Not with the debris spread out like that.
No way.
