Sudan Airways plane crash lands after wheels jam

This morning a Sudanese Airways plane was forced to crash land after its wheels jammed, fortunately there was no deaths of seriously injury. The flight was bound for the southern town of Malakal when the pilot discovered the problem he promptly returned to Khartoum. The plane was instructed to fly around for more than two hours to empty the gas tank of extra jet fuel and the runway was covered in anti flame chemicals. The general manager for Sudanese Airways blamed US sanctions for the near fatal crash. This was the latest in a long series of accidents for Sudanese Air. They are on the list of airlines banned from the EU for not meeting safety standards.
