In this day and age I'm surprised that the press cannot get the aircraft type correct. In this case it was stated in some that it was an A320 then a DC.9 and now an MD.83, with pictures of an Air Algerie A330 in some papers.
Whilst to the uninitiated it's still hard to tell the difference between a DC.9 and an MD.83, surely an Airbus 320 stands out with its engines under the wings.
