What a strange looking plane. More info here.
Laos is never in the news. But this crash ended the streak. Some very important people died in the crash, including:
- Douangchay Phichit: deputy prime minister/defense minister/Politburo member
- Thongbane Sengaphone: chief of public security
Whether this was an unfortunate accident or sabotage is unknown. It will be interesting to see how the government deals with the power vacuum.

Very similar plane An-72 crashed in December 2012 in Southern Kazakhstan killing 27 people. Most of them were high rank military officials.
