At least 15 people have died after a plane crashed during an attempt at an emergency landing in Tunisia.
The EgyptAir plane had 55 people on board while trying to land near Tunis in bad weather. Egyptian officials say there have been at least 15 deaths.
The plane, a Boeing 737, is resting on a hill in an area of a park about four miles from the Tunis-Carthage airport.
The control tower had lost contact with the plane a few seconds before the crash, just after a distress call from the pilot, according to the national news agency, TAP.
Egyptian officials in Tunis, speaking on Egyptian state TV, said there were 15 or 16 deaths and said the plane has been attempting an emergency landing.
EgyptAir's vice president for safety, Shaker Qilada, said a total of 55 people were aboard the plane, which originated in Cairo, and that there are survivors.
