Ruben van Assouw is the only survivor of the plane crash May 12, 2010 at Tripoli International Airport that killed 103 people including his brother, mother and father.
The tail section is the only intact piece of the plane. Everything else is in fragments. Its hard to believe anyone could survive this disaster. Rescuers found him still strapped in the seat. He suffered 2 broken legs which the good Libyan doctor's performed surgery on and numerous bruises. He's recovering in the hospital in Tripoli and has been visited by his relatives from Holland. My heart breaks for this young boy and wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.
