Various reports from the New York Times, Washington Post, and FOX News are showing that an airplane flying out of Yemen crashed in the Indian Ocean with more than 150 onboard. There is no word yet as to whether or not anyone survived.
According to the CNN.com story, "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."
It should be noted that the Air France flight that crashed leaving Rio de Janeiro on June 1 en route to Paris was an Airbus plane as well.
