From Wikipedia

On 11 February 2014, a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft of the Algerian Air Force, carrying 74 passengers and 4 crew members, crashed into Djebel Fertas mountain near Aïn Kercha, Algeria. Only one person survived.

The aircraft impacted mountainous terrain during its descent toward Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport in poor weather conditions, that included strong winds and snowfall, which reduced visibility in the region.

This was the largest crash in the country since the 2003 Air Algérie Flight 6289, in which 103 people died.

    Phase and cause come from the NTSB’s own coding of each accident, which only exists from 2008 on, so these two filters leave out 1982–2007. Cause categories are only recorded for some accidents, and early findings can change.
