Three occupants were pulled alive from the wreckage but later died of their injuries.[2][3]

Accident

The aircraft involved, a four-engined Lockheed C-130H Hercules with registration CNA-OQ, was travelling from Dakhla Airport in Morocco to Kenitra Air Base, with a scheduled stopover at Guelmim.[1][4]

While approaching Guelmim Airport, the Hercules crashed into Sayyert Mountain, approximately Шаблон:Convert north-east of Guelmin. At that time, the weather in the area was reported as poor.[3][5]

It was the deadliest aviation accident of 2011, and Morocco's deadliest military aviation disaster.[6]

King Mohammed VI announced three days of national mourning following the crash.[6]
