A United Nations plane has crashed in Haiti and eleven people are confirmed dead at this time. There were eleven people on board the aircraft.
The plane crashed in to a mountain and went down just west of Fond Verrettes, which is an isolated town. Dylan Lowthian, a spokesman for the United Nations said that the plane was a Uruguayan surveillance plane that is assigned to the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
A team of investigators have set out on foot to the sight of the crash as it cannot be reached by car.

Great details amyjudd and graphics, being a surveillance plane with a peacekeeping mission agenda that is now unreachable by conventional means really piques my interest in finding out more details on this aircraft crash.
Thank you Jordan, I hope our contributors will add more factual details to amyjudd's story as it develops as time seems to be of the essence here.
