Another plane has gone missing (by TheHBKbigred)
Algerian flight 116 has gone missing. I hope it wasn't flying over Ukraine again
It crashed....
"" ALGIERS (Reuters) - An Air Algerie flight
crashed on Thursday en route from
Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso to Algiers with
110 passengers on board, an Algerian aviation
official said.
There were few clear indications of what might
have happened to the aircraft, or whether
there were casualties, but Burkina Faso
Transport Minister Jean Bertin Ouedrago said
it asked to change route at 0138 GMT because
of a storm in the area.
"I can confirm that it has crashed," the
Algerian official told Reuters, declining to be
identified or give any details about what had
happened to the aircraft on its way north.
Almost half of the passengers were French
citizens, an airline official said.
Two French fighter jets based in the region
have been dispatched to try to locate the
airliner along its probable route, a French
army spokesman said. Niger security sources
said planes were flying over the border region
with Mali to search for the flight. Algeria's
state news agency APS said authorities lost
contact with flight AH 5017 an hour after it
took off from Burkina Faso, but other officials
gave differing accounts of the times of
contact, adding to confusion about the plane's
fate.""
