Rumor I just heard a crash on or near Paxse. Any other info out there. No media coverage here and I'm in Laos.

The news I have received is that on route Vientiane to Pakse, short of the runway 'maybe storm or very windy' the ATR went down 20 km short into a river
At this stage it is thought, fatalities include
Pilot 2
Crew 3
Passenger 44
No known survivors at this time
