A military transport plane slammed into a mountainside in bad weather in southern Morocco on Tuesday killing 78 people on board, said the Army.
Only three people survived when the Hercules C-130 came down on the edge of the Sahara desert. Doctors said they were in a serious condition in hospital.
The plane crashed into a mountain northeast of Guelmim, located about 830 km south of the capital Rabat.
Most of those onboard the aircraft were soldiers flying from Laayoune in Western Sahara to the coastal city of Agadir. But the Army said 12 civilians, including family members, were also on the flight.
