There is confusion today over the death toll in the Congo plane tragedy, where passengers were sucked out of the aircraft mid-air after a rear door swung open.

MORE than 120 passengers were sucked out of a transport plane to their deaths when its massive rear cargo door burst open at 33,000 feet over the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The survivors of a mid-air tragedy in which 129 people are believed to have died are being treated for shock.
