Another aircraft has been “lost” and hundreds of souls believed to have perished in another plane crash.

According to international media reports, the Air Algerie flight with 116 people on board disappeared from radar about 50 minutes into what was to have been a 4-hour flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers.

Flight 5017 is believed to have crashed in a remote part of Mali.
