This is the astonishing moment a baby was pulled alive from the wreckage of a cargo plane which crashed in South Sudan, killing up to 41 people.The boy was plucked from the mangled fuselage after the aircraft came down near a river, scattering debris and bodies across remote farmland.He was one of only two survivors pulled from the crash, but the other one later died.The Russian-made Antonov-12 aircraft crashed along the banks of the White Nile River this morning barely a mile from the airport in the capital Juba.

Amid conflicting reports, the death toll ranged from 25 to 41 as humanitarian workers and investigators began combing the crash site.

The plane, which had been bound for the Paloich oil fields in Upper Nile state, was registered in Tajikistan and belonged to Allied Services Limited, said Ateny Wek Ateny, a spokesman for South Sudanese President Salva Kiir.
