Appears initial reports were inaccurate regarding fatalities. Now confirming IL-76 & 105 dead according to 'Sputniknews.com' via Scramble.
Re: Military aircraft accident in Algeria
Death toll has now risen to 257.
Absolutely shocking.

Photo shown on BBC news on my iPad shows wreckage the fin looks more like an AN124
Re: Military aircraft accident in Algeria
Definitely an IL76, it crashed on farm land, all the fatalities are from the 247 passengers and 10 crew.
It’s a rolling story here in Morocco.

The fin is lying more or less flat - what you can see sticking up is the tailplane.Strathayr wrote:Photo shown on BBC news on my iPad shows wreckage the fin looks more like an AN124
