Another Disappeared Airliner

From Yahoo News:
Algiers (AFP) - Air Algerie said Thursday it had lost contact with one of its passenger aircraft nearly an hour after takeoff from Burkina Faso bound for Algiers.

A company source told AFP that the missing aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and that some 110 people of various nationalities are listed as being on board the flight.

The source said contact with the aircraft was lost while it was still in Malian airspace approaching the border with Algeria.

Despite international military intervention still under way, the situation remains unstable in northern Mali, which was seized by jihadist groups for several months in 2012....
BTW, whatever happened to Malaysia Flight 370? Any definitive answer?

  1. Al Jazeera: West Africa Ebola crisis 'out of control'

    Doctors without Borders say the outbreak is likely to spread if world leaders do not step up assistance.
    The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is "totally out of control,'' a senior official for Doctors without Borders has said.

    Bart Janssens, the director of operations for the group in Brussels, told Associated Press on Friday that the medical group was stretched to the limit in its capacity to respond and that more help was needed if the outbreak was to be stopped.

    "The reality is clear that the epidemic is now in a second wave,'' Janssens said. "And, for me, it is totally out of control.''
