Jet Crash and 1 Miracle survivor
-
I can only said WOW!!!! Interesting i wonder how she made it....i think this will provide a lot of info to studies on how to survive a plane crash. But she must be really petite to be mistaken as a 5 yrs old.
SAN'A, Yemen - A passenger jet carrying 153 people crashed into the Indian Ocean early Tuesday while trying to land in bad weather at the island nation of Comoros.
Earlier reports that a 5-year-old boy had survived the crash and was found floating at sea were probably incorrect, said Rachida Abdullah, an immigrations officer in the Comoros. Now, it appears the survivor is a 14-year-old girl, she told The Associated Press

BBC reported

The EU and France have both said they highlighted safety concerns over Yemenia planes and said the jet that crashed had not flown into EU airspace since 2007.
But no official cause for the crash has yet been found. Earlier on Wednesday a French government minister in the Comoros capital, Moroni, said that a detected signal thought to be from one of the plane's "black box" flight recorders was in fact a distress beacon.
'True miracle'
Ms Bakari, who lives in Paris with her family, was treated in hospital in Moroni for injuries, said to include a fractured collarbone and burns.
On Wednesday evening, she was reported to be flying back to Paris in a French government aircraft.
French officials earlier said that she was 12 years old, contradicting earlier reports she was 14.
Speaking from Paris, her father Kassim Bakari said she was thrown from the plane as it hit the water. He said she clearly recalled the chaos of her time in the water.
"She said: 'Papa, we saw the plane going down in the water. I was in the dark, I couldn't see a thing.
"'[And] on top of that daddy, I can't swim well and I held on to something, but don't really know what'.
"She's a very timid girl, I never thought she would escape like that," he said, adding that she was "fragile" and barely able to swim.
Mr Bakari recalled how he said goodbye to his wife and daughter at the airport as they headed to the Comoros.
"I kissed them both, then my wife turned around, she looked at me and she waved, and my daughter she didn't do anything, and that was the last time I saw my wife alive, because my daughter... I will see her again I hope, but for my wife it was the last time."
French officials in Moroni praised the girl's courage. International Co-operation Minister Alain Joyandet described her rescue as a "true miracle".
"She is a courageous young girl. She really showed an absolutely incredible physical and moral strength."
An uncle, Ali Abdou, who visited the girl in hospital in Moroni, told the BBC she did not yet know that her mother had died.
She was scheduled to be transferred back to Paris for treatment later on Wednesday, he added.
"She is conscious, speaking well, [she] is ok. She was joking, she was chatting, we laughed together.
"It's a miracle. It was God's will."
