Oh dear. Not a good day at all. An Air Afriqiyah A330 has crashed at Tripoli airport, killing more than 100 people on board the plane.
The service which departed Johannesburg as Flight 8U771 attempted to land at 06:00 local time, and crashed on landing within the airport perimeters.
The manifests indicate that 93 passengers and 11 crew were on board the aircraft of various different nationalities
Reports and pictures indicate the aircraft completely disintegrated after landing. The Airbus A330-200 was a new addition to the Air Afriqyah fleet, and was 8 months old.

Not a good day. My condolences to those who have lost loved ones in this incident.
