Air Algerie: The four crash scenarios
What could have happened in the Air Algerie flight from Ouagadougou to Algiers? These are the four possible scenarios.
1. The plane ran out of fuel, as reported by some media in Algeria. Unlikely. In just 50 minutes into a flight of four hours, this would be a tragic error in calculation.
2. Shot down by rebels. Possible, but rather difficult. The Federal Aviation Administration said: "The U.S. agency banned all flights within the territory and airspace of Mali saying that the security situation remains fragile".
3. It was stolen. The flights of Air Algerie have been hijacked at least six times, but no reports for claims were made, before the plane crashed.
4. Weather. The air traffic control asked the aircraft to divert near the Algerian border, because of bad weather and to avoid another aircraft crash. It's now clear that there was a storm over Mali, but it didn't collide with another aircraft, as no reports of a second missing plane exist.
