AH5017 号坠毁客机上无人生还There are no survivors from the Air Algerie AH5017 passenger jet that crashed in Mali, says the French President, Francois Hollande.法国总统奥朗德称，坠毁于马里的阿尔及利亚航空 AH5017 客机上没有生还者。A team of 100 French soldiers travelled to the region on Friday to secure the crash site Mr Hollande said one flight data recorder had been recovered, after French troops reached the crash site near Mali's border with Burkina Faso. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane early on Thursday after pilots reported severe storms. Almost half of the 116 people on board were French, including a family of 10. The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 had been chartered from Spanish airline, Swiftair. It was flying from Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, to Algiers. Tomasz Schafernaker: "Thunderstorms stretching up to 15km into the air can cause turbulence, icing on the wings and lightning" French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told French radio network RTL that "the aircraft was destroyed at the moment it crashed". "We think the aircraft crashed for reasons linked to the weather conditions, although no theory can be excluded at this point," he said. A team of 100 French soldiers, with 30 vehicles, had travelled to the crash site on Friday, a French defence ministry official said. The team was part of a force that was deployed to Mali last year to combat an insurgency（叛乱，暴动） backed by al-Qaeda. "French soldiers who are on the ground have started the first investigations," Mr Hollande said on Friday. "Sadly there are no survivors."
