morning. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us now, this is a flight that disappeared over what some people are saying is hostile territory. >> certainly the faa thinks it is hostile territory. it disappeared about 50 minutes into a four hour flight. it disappeared from the radar, communication with that crew stopped near the algerian border. the associated foreign press sighting an unnamed air algerie company source reports it was asked to make a detour because of poor visibility. look at the map though, it is an area where the source says the plane goes from burkina faso to algeria and that's where communications stopped. it goes over the shah hair ra desert and over maly, a country in turmoil since an attempted coup three two years ago. it is an md 83 that looks like this one. it's operated by air algerie but

owned by swiftair. that airline put out a statement saying there is no communication with the aircraft on board the plane are 110 passengers, six crew members of which two are pilots and four are flight attendants. at this time, company emergency personnel are working to find out what happened. looking again at that map, sources say it was a routine route, but one that the federal aviation administration, the faa considers to be a potentially hostile route where civil aircrafts are at risk of encountering antiaircraft fire and air defense missiles. to be clear, we don't know what happened yet, but comes a week after malaysian airlines flight 17 was shot down over hostile territory over ukraine, so that certainly adds to the intrigue and certainly people just want to know where this plane is. >> right, it's so strange what's been happening. >> very tough time for travelers. >> exactly, we'll keep checking on the story constantly. also developing now in the middle east, four hours after
