JUBA — A commercial plane that is several decades old crashed late Tuesday in South Sudan, killing all 10 people on board, according to the governor of Jonglei state.

Ten people including eight passengers and two pilots lost their lives after South Supreme Airlines flight HK-4274 bound for the capital Juba took off from the town of Pieri in Jonglei state and crashed, said Denay Jock Chagor.

“Our prayers are with their families and loved ones. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Jonglei state and the nation, I share this condolence message with the affected families and friends in these hours of grief,” Chagor said in a condolence message released by his office.

“It was with great shock and horror to receive the news of the plane crash of South Supreme Airlines that happened today, the 2nd day of March 2021 at around 5 pm at Pieri Airstrip,” he added.

Earlier in the day, Kur Kuol, the director of Juba International Airport, spoke with Anadolu Agency by phone.

“News reaching us indicates that a commercial plane has crashed in the town of Pieri in Jonglei state while setting off for Juba,” Kuol said.

He said the South Supreme Airlines flight went down immediately after taking off at 5 pm local time (1500GMT).

The plane crashed in a region where there is no network coverage, so it was difficult to confirm the exact number of casualties, he added.

This is the second such incident reported involving an aircraft operated by the regional airline. The first occurred in 2017, when a South Supreme Airlines plane caught fire and made a crash landing, but there were no fatalities.

South Supreme Airlines could not be reached for comment on the latest incident.

The plane is said to be as old as 70.

    “Jonglei: World War Two plane crashes killing all on board”

    Where here in ‘Jonglei or Upper Nile states?’ Just continue to play balls and you will be bombed out of this planet earth over the backs ‘the backs of South Sudan and the South Sudanese people’ *once and for all*, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Bring your evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their cloned so-called arabs of Darfur, their Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, some of their Bantuses into our country and over our people’s backs again, and that South Sudanese would be as good as dead. Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.

    Pope Francis is dead, queen Elizabeth is long since dead. We cannot live side by side with Catholics evils, cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, some of their Bantuses, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs.

    *Timbuktu*, are these vermins/parasites equal with ‘the Mounyjiengs/ Jaangs/Dinkas/Jenges’ with these vermins/parasites? Absolutely not, not in slightest. We are way way too well ahead of these vermins/parasites.

    ‘We are the Ancient Egyptian fools’. We want *HEADS* of *Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu,Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Mr. Abiy Ahmed, his predecessor, Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn, former president of South Africa, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, former current president of Rwanda, Mr. Paul Kagame, former president of Tanzania, Mr. Jakaya Kikwete, current president of Kenya, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, his rival Mr. Raila Odinga, comer Nigerian president, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo; follow us.

    There is no commercial plane that ‘crush here in South Sudan’. *Boeing commercial planes* are going to be bombed out *skies once and for all*.

    Not only *Boeing* Take your rubbish to *Western Australia*. If you evils can survive our bombings, then we will consider you creeps ‘on far with us’. I will be damned if you low lives can survive our bombings in *Pine Gape, Kalgure (Indigenous of Australia country), Esperanze, Perth, Freemantle and Broome; (survivable for the fittest, says, Mr. Charles Darwin)*

    White people are not going to survive our bombings, I repeat again.

    *Captain Cook* was not the one who played games with indigenous people of Australia, he was just “an explorer”. But the convicts who were shipped to Australia for stealing a peice of bread were the ones who played games with Indigenous in *Pacific and even Americas*.

    The people of Hawaii went and killed Mr. Captain Cook and got away with it. Hawaii is some times called part of US of America. That is not true, Hawaiian people can just go, get independence, and get away with it. Samoans of American and Pacific Samoans are the same people.
