PARIS (AP) - France's transport minister says one of the black
boxes of the Yemeni jetliner that crashed in the Indian Ocean has
been found.
The minister (Dominique Bussereau) told reporters after a
government meeting in Paris on Wednesday that "we have found a
black box" of the Airbus A310.
He did not say whether it was the flight's voice recorder or its
data recorder or give any other details. Most planes have two black
box flight recorders.
France's minister for cooperation (Alain Joyandet) says the
search for bodies and wreckage continues off the Comoros Islands.
One survivor, a 14-year-old girl, was rescued.
The jet carrying 153 people crashed into the Indian Ocean early
Tuesday as it attempted to land in the dark amid howling winds.
MORONI, Comoros (AP) - A teenage girl who is the only known
survivor of a Yemeni jet crash is conscious in the hospital in the
Comoros with bruises on her face and a gauze bandage on her elbow.
An Associated Press reporter saw the 14-year-old in a hospital
in Comoros when the country's vice president visited her Wednesday.
A nurse who treated the girl said she was "doing well."
The girl's father told French radio that his daughter could
barely swim but managed to hang on long enough for rescuers to find
her in the Indian Ocean.
