Toddler survives air crash
A toddler has been plucked alive from the waters of the Indian Ocean by rescue boats searching for survivors of a Yemenia Air flight from Paris that crashed off the Comoros Islands, says a report in Telegraph. The crash killed at least 150 people, reports said.
The crash report comes exactly a month after the horrific Air France plane crash that killed more than 150 persons.

Yemenia Flight 626 was on its way to Moroni, the capital of Comoros, from Yemen's capital Sanaa. A month ago an Air France Airbus carrying 228 passengers and crew disappeared over the Atlantic after taking off for Paris from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

When boats arrived on the spot, the Telegraph report said, they found a number of bodies floating in the water.
"A child was found alive. He is now on a rescuers' boat," said Ben Imani, a doctor at Moroni's main hospital, the report quoted.
