A 8-year-old Dutch kid is the only survivor of a deadly plane crash in Lybia. Other 92 passengers and 11 crew members were killed when the plane, Afriqiyah Airways crashed while trying to land into Tripoli International Airport. The kid, Ruben van Assouw, suffered a lot of fractures and had an operation at Al Khadra Hospital in Tripoli.

We think that it is very sad that these kid is alone because he's family died. It would be interesting that they figured out how the plane crashed because it was a big tragedy. At least its good that this kid survived. Its really sad what happened and we hope the kid has good authority.
