Just as the world is still mourning the loss of about 298
passengers in the ill-fated Malaysian airline down in Ukraine, danger was
averted earlier today in Uganda when an aircraft carrying U.S. military
personnel was forced to land in the middle of a Ugandan highway after running
out of fuel.

Phillip Mukasa, a spokesman for Ugandan police, told Associated
Press (AP) that “the Piper aircraft with eight people on board - including two
crew members - was returning to Uganda's Entebbe International Airport when it
had to make an emergency landing in Mityana town, some 67 kilometers (about 41
miles) from the Ugandan capital of Kampala.
The emergency landing disrupted the flow of traffic but
there was no one was hurt. There was also no damage to the aircraft.
According to Mukasa, the aircraft had been headed to South
Sudan but it couldn't land there and had to return to Uganda. No reason had
been given why the pilot did not land in South Sudan
