Air Algerie flight declares mid-air emergency on journey from Algiers to Marseille 'then disappears from radar'
Breaking story: post comments and updates in this post please. We'll follow today.
A passenger jet has declared a mid-air emergency and seemingly disappeared from radar, according to reports.

The Boeing 736 took off from Algiers this afternoon on a flight to Marseille but let out an emergency call shortly after take-off. Flight radar showed the plane turn around and head back towards the point where it took-off but before arriving, the jet disappeared from radar.
Update at 1135 CT: returned to Algiers and landed safely. Apparent "technical difficulties".
