Yemenia Air Jet Crashes, Child is Found Alive

A Yemenia Air Airbus A310-300 carrying over 150 passengers crashed off the Eastern Coast of Africa while trying to land, according to the Sydney Morning Hearald. The jet departed Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and was bound for Moroni, Comoros Islands, with a stopover in Sana'a Yemen. The jet encountered difficulty landing and crashed into the swells of the Indian Ocean, according to eyewitnesses at Moroni Airport. The scene of the crash is being investigated by French military jets and seacraft, which were already stationed at other islands the Indian Ocean. Although the situation is egregious in the highest way, a small miracle has emerged. French sailors found a five-year-old boy floating among the wreckage of the A310. According to Ben Imani, a doctor at a Moroni Hospital, the boy is being treated and closely monitored. No other survivors have been found at the site of the crash.

This is the second Airbus aircraft to crash over a major body of water in less than a month. The last flight, an Air France Airbus A330-200 bound from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil. The cause of the AF A330-300 crash was determined to be failure of vital computer systems. The cause of the Yemenia A310 crash is unknown, as of now.
