of yemeni plane crash: child survivor found in indian ocean

(Yemeni plane crash) Child survivor found in Indian Ocean: "A young child has been plucked alive from the waters of the Indian Ocean by rescue boats searching for survivors of a Yemenia Air flight from Paris that crashed off the Comoros Islands, killing up to 152 people."

The boy, said to be a toddler, is the only known survivor so far of the passengers and crew on board the Airbus 310 aircraft that ditched in the sea after an aborted landing attempt at Moroni Airport on Grand Comore...

...the flight had departed from Charles De Gaulle Airport for Sana'a in Yemen via Marseille. There, passengers had changed plane from an Airbus 330 to an Airbus 310 and been joined by others for the rest of the flight to the Comoros via Djibouti.

Initial blame is being put on bad weather, with air officials in the Comoros Islands reporting strong winds of 38mph, gusting to 70mph.
