BRUSSELS (AP) - The Yemenia Airbus 310 that crashed into the Indian Ocean near Comoros may have been attempting a go-around in rough weather for another approach when it hit the sea, a pilots association says.
International Federation of Air Line Pilots Association, a group of over 100,000 pilots, made the claim in its daily newsletter late Tuesday. It did not give a source for this information, but it is a well-respected industry group whose members are very familiar with airports around the world.
The plane, which crashed in poor weather and high winds, was carrying 153 people from France to Comoros via Yemen. One teenage girl has survived, but there is no word yet on other survivors.
