Wow another crash!!!! I seriously think there is a problem with with the aviation industry. Read the full report here:

An Air Algerie has crashed into river Niger in Africa according to Chinese State TV reports. 110 passengers and 6 cabin crew members were on board the flight.

The plane had taken off from Burkina Faso's capital 

Ouagadougou. Air navigation services lost track of the plane 50 minutes after its takeoff.

Initial reports say that the plane was flying through an area where there were violent storms. The plane is an MD83 Airbus which was headed to Algiers. Spanish private airline company Swiftair had earlier said in a notice posted on its website that the aircraft took off from Burkina Faso at 0117 local time and was supposed to land in Algiers at 0510 local time but never reached its destination.
