一架阿爾及利亞的軍用運輸機,在從南部飛往東北部的途中,疑似因為天候不佳、在東部山區墜毀。這架飛機上有78位乘客和機組人員,最後只有1人生還。
事故發生後,可以看到飛機的後半截機身仍遺留在現場,飛機引擎也裸露在外,救護車等車輛立刻趕往現場救援。根據阿爾及利亞軍方的說法,這架美製C-130軍用運輸機,載有78名乘客和機組員,乘客中大多是軍人及其家屬,11號上午運輸機從阿爾及利亞南部一個機場出發,前往東北部城市君士坦丁,沒想到途中在首都阿爾及爾東邊380公里左右的山區墜毀,機上78人只有一人生還,這名生還者頭部受傷,已經送往君士坦丁醫院進行治療。至於失事原因,可能是天候欠佳風勢太強的緣故。因為事發地點最近才降下暴風雪,畫面上也可看出地面上還有白色積雪。
阿國國防部目前已經組成調查小組深入調查事故原因。副國防部長兼陸軍參謀長也將前往事故現場表達關切。這起事件是阿爾及利亞11年來,災情最慘重的墜機意外。2003年一架阿爾及利亞航空班機,自南部城市起飛後不久墜毀,奪走102條人命。阿國宣佈即日起進行為期三天的哀悼。記者 曾惠敏報導

Algiers, Algeria, February 11, 2014
Last Updated: 01:42 IST(12/2/2014)
An Algerian military transport slammed into a mountain Tuesday in the country's rugged eastern region. A civil defense official said 102 people on board were killed but one person managed to survive.
The US-built C-130 Hercules transport crashed about noon near the town of Ain Kercha, 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Constantine, the main city in eastern Algeria.
Commander Farid Nechad, who is based in Algiers but was coordinating recovery efforts, told The Associated Press that 103 people including four crew had been on the plane. He said so far only 55 bodies had been found due to the difficult conditions at the crash site.
He did not give any further details about the lone survivor.
Civil defense officials at the scene told journalists that women and children were among the dead at the snowy crash site, presumably from military families. Local reporters said the C-130 plane had broken into three parts.
The plane had taken off from the southern Saharan city of Tamanrasset and was heading to Constantine.
Algerian officials have so far not given an official death toll for the crash. If the reported death toll is confirmed, it would be the deadliest airplane crash in Algeria's history.
The defense ministry, meanwhile, blamed the weather.
"Unfavorable weather conditions and storms accompanied by snow in the region were behind the crash," the ministry said in a statement.
Winds in the area were 17 knots gusting to 28 knots with a visibility of 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the time, according to the aviation-safety.net website.
Lockheed Martin's turboprop C-130 Hercules transport, born out of the experiences of the 1950-53 Korean War, has been used by air forces all over the world to help fight wars or save lives in humanitarian situations. Despite its hulking carcass, the plane is known for its versatility.
The age of the aircraft that crashed on Tuesday was not immediately clear but the model was produced until 1996.
Lockheed Martin did not immediately respond to AP requests for comment on the crash.
The worst plane crash in Algerian history occurred in 2003, when 102 people were killed after a civilian airliner crashed at the end of the runway in Tamanrasset. There was also a single survivor in that crash.
In November 2012, an Algerian military cargo plane crashed in southern France, killing all six people aboard.
