Yemeni Airbus 310 was flying the last leg of a journey taking passengers from Paris and Marseille to Comoros via Yemen carrying 153 people crashed into the Indian Ocean in bad weather early Tuesday while trying to land at the island nation of Comoros. News has stated that the search teams rescued a child from the sea but there was no word on other survivors. Most of the passengers were from Comoros, returning from Paris. Sixty-six on board were French nationals.
According to the news Yemeni civil aviation deputy chief Mohammed Abdul Qader said that the rescued child was 5 years old and the flight also had at least three babies. Three bodies from the flight were retrieved along with debris from the plane.
