#Trending: Missing Air Algerie Flight AH 5017 Found | Crashed Near Niamey in Niger


This morning an Air Algerie flight AH 5017 en route to Algiers from Burkina Faso was reported to have dropped off the radar about 50 minutes after take-off. There were 116 people on board.

There are reports that the plane has been found. It crashed near Niamey, Niger capital. All 116 people are presumed dead.

"I can confirm that it has crashed," an Algerian aviation officer told Reuters, without giving specifics.

Another sad day in the global travel. This is the third major airline incident in one week. At this rate, travelers would become weary of air travel, which is presumed to be the safest means of transportation.
