Description

A Uganda Airlines plane has crashed in Rome, killing more than thirty people. Dairy farmer Geoff Gait(?), his wife and their baby managed to escape relatively unharmed. They were on their way to Uganda to spend three years working as part of Send a Cow charity and organiser Anthony Bush says it is a miracle that they survived. Family friend Lynne Saunders(?) expresses her delight; however, an unidentified female survivor talks about how her baby died in the blaze. Report by Gareth Furby.
