Death toll

I just saw that the info-box say there were 78 passengers and 77 deaths (I remember the infobox said 102 deaths), but there are still conflicting reports about the death toll, some saying 77 and some saying 102 or something. Can some confirm which one is correct?

Thanks. Sam.gov (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The BBC clarifies with "The government and military say 78 people were on board - not 103 as reported by officials and local media." As it refutes and explains the earlier figure, it seems more reliable right now [1] Leondz (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. I guess it will be kept at 78. Sam.gov (talk) 22:22, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It says now 76 bodies were revoverd and there was 1 survivor.Lihaas (talk) 17:56, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Though 76 would be less awful news, I still see 78 on board / one survivor via that source ("Last updated at 21:22 GMT") Leondz (talk) 18:07, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recovery operations completed, and the number I keep seeing is 77 + one survivor (in coma). [2] --PLNR (talk) 03:55, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
