The following photos were taken from the internet. A CASA C212 plane which is flown by the Uruguayan military as part of the UN mission here in Haiti crashed into a mountainside last Friday. All the 11 soldiers on board died in the crash(5 Jordanians, 6 Uruguayans)
On Friday afternoon the UN vehicles passed us in Croix de Bouquets as we were driving out to the village of Bonnette. The ambulances had a long wait. The area of the crash was a difficult area to access. There were no roads and rescue teams went to the site on foot to see if there were any survivors.
The people on board the plane had no chance.
The plane hit the side of a mountain in an area called Pays Pourri (translated in english as Rotten Country)
All 11 bodies were recovered and transported to Port-au-Prince on Saturday morning. Pray for all the families who lost loved ones.
