Today, Air Algerie Flight 5017 went missing over The Saharan Dessert and many are saying that the plane has indeed crashed . If this is confirmed, this will be the second crash in 24 hours and this will be the 3rd crash in 7 days. There were roughly 50 French, 24 Burkina's, 8 Lebanese, 6 Algerians, 4 Germans, 2 Lux, and 1 person from each Ukraine, Nigeria, Mali, Belgium, Cameroon, Egypt, Romania, Switzerland and Canada.

 

Lets just hope the plane is found safe and sound, and with minimum injuries.

The Flight number is 5017. Secondly, TWA, the plane lost contact 13 hours ago, there's no way it's fine. Unless radio contact can be made, I would go with the theory something instantaneous, where pilots couldn't react happened.

The plane did in fact crash in an "very inaccessible desert area" (French Military/USA Today) in Mali. Here's the link.

Based off of what we know, It's very doubtful that anyone would've been able to survive this.

I assume there are no survivors as Sky splash anything like that all over as Breaking News. I'm assuming the worst as there was no contact. I'll just say, it probably wasn't Malian offspring of Al Qaeda as apparently they don't have access to it.

I agree. I wouldnt put this crash into terrorism... I assume at this point it was bad weather, because the powerful storms over Mali were outrageous. 

 

God MH17, Taipei Crash, Isreal/Hamas Conflict, Air Algerie Crash.... how much torture will this world face in 1 week?

I'm looking at the news actually and I'm thinking some could have survived, they've only flown over it and seen it, coupled with the fact it flew a good distance, it could have made a crash landing.

Okay thats positive right there. If it did indeed make a crash landing, there must have been some nurses or doctors onboard to secure lives... This is horrible :( . RIP to all the victims

Depends on who found the crash site. If it's militants or terrorists or whatever they'll probably end up shooting the survivors.
