Yemeni Plane crashes with 154 aboard

(CNN) -- A Yemeni jetliner with more than 150 people aboard has crashed in the Indian Ocean off the island nation of Comoros, aviation officials in Yemen said Tuesday.

An Airbus 310 like the one pictured has crashed while on the way to the capital of Comoros.

The jet was en route to Moroni, the capital of Comoros, from Yemen's capital Sanaa when it crashed about an hour before reaching its destination, officials from the national airline Yemenia said. There was no immediate news of the fate of those on board.

Yemenia Flight 626 left Sanaa at 9:30 p.m. for what was expected to be a 4½-hour flight. The airline has three regular flights per week to Moroni, off the east coast of Africa about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) south of Yemen.

Most of the 143 passengers aboard the Airbus A310 were Comoran, an official at Sanaa's international airport said. The aircraft also carried a crew of 11, for a total of 154 people on board.

There has been no indication of foul play behind the crash, the officials said.

The crash is the second involving an Airbus jet in a month. On June 1, an Air France Airbus A330 crashed off Brazil while en route from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France. All 228 aboard are presumed dead. The cause remains under investigation.

I know eh, so many deaths of late and another Airbus, RIP to all the victims.

w0w

Don't fly on the first and last days of june guys

wow, RIP to these people. Must be the recession that the airlines r cutting cost left right & center

Now CNN is reporting that it's a 14 year old girl that survived, and possibly a few more passengers and the captain of the flight, but the others haven't been proven.

Two Airbus planes go down in inclement weather....I hope it's just a coincidence, and not some design flaw that is inherent in the two models.

so shoudl we go on boeing planes instead?

airbus = made in China

Great, now the media is gonna play the "Airbus ZOMG BAD PLANE" card for awhile.

ive only ever been on airbus' these days
if u guys want a scary airplane, search a russian aircraft called TUPULOV
shit has crashed probably 70 TIMES!!
