Adam Poultney Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Initially reported as a Boeing 737-400 of Ariana Airlines, this is incorrect. It has now been correctly identified as a Bombardier E11a. This appears to be the involved airframe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyf117 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The claim of "around 100 bodies" on the ground around the crash site are obviously wildly exaggerated, as the type operates with a typical crew of four, and is only able to carry up to 19 passengers...

Julien Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 There were two crew on board both killed. Coalition forces have recovered their remains. Data recorders have been recovered but the wreckage has been destroyed due to the sensitive nature of whats in there. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/01/28/official-remains-2-us-troops-recovered-afghan-crash-site.html RIP Guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
