One survivor has been found after Yemenia Airways Flight 626 crashed Tuesday outside the Comoros islands, northwest of Madagascar. Bahia Bakari, a 12-14 year old girl who could barely swim, spent 13 hours clinging to wreckage in the Indian Ocean before she was found by rescuers. Authorities say high winds and rough seas diminish the chances of more survivors being found. There were a 153 people aboard the flight. Bakari was flown to a hospital near her home in Paris and appears to be in stable condition. For more information, read the New York Times story.
