In Expatica's International News discussion forums, a photo of the plane crash posted by a forum member and earlier conflicting news reports led to a flurry of comments from our readers.
In one of the earlier postings, forum member Osita said: “NOS is saying 0 dead, 20 wounded, 50 walked away from it, 64 unaccounted for.”
As more details of the crash were revealed by the media, other readers started to doubt initial reports of zero causality in the crash.
In his posting, The_Purple_Cow said: “If you looked at the video on the BBC homepage you could clearly see a body being taken away on a stretcher, so it was a little ridiculous for the airline spokesperson to say there were no fatalities.”
In her last posting, Osita said: “Sadly, the emergency services can't get to the aircraft, and the bodybags have been flashed all over the news as they lie next to the plane. Following the news conference, there are nine reported dead.”
