JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — The lone adult survivor of a South Sudan plane crash said Saturday that he cradled a stranger's baby in his arms as doomed passengers shouted the aircraft was going down, and he and the child were the only people who lived through the carnage. Wuor Arop also told The Associated Press from his hospital bed where he was recovering with limbs broken in six places and a head injury that the plane carried more than 30 unauthorized passengers. The Soviet-built Antonov AN-12 was had taken off from South Sudan's capital, Juba, on Thursday and was headed for the Paloich oil fields with a crew of six when it crashed, according to South Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority. There are no commercial passenger flights to Paloich and roads are impassable due to South Sudan's civil war and rainy season.
