Only one person survive a plane crash

According to Intent report, a ten-year-old Dutch boy appears to have been the sole survivor of a deadly plane crash at Tripoli Airport in Libya. Some 103 people are believed to have lost their lives when a relatively new Airbus 330 crashed while landing a little after 6 in the morning.
"The child is in good condition and is in the hospital undergoing checks," the Libyan transportation minister told a news conference at the airport.
