Just heard about this and wanted to share.

A Yemeni Jet crashed into the Indian Ocean, an airport official said Tuesday June 30. It was carrying 153 people. 11 crew and 142 passengers were on the aircraft. It was traveling to the Main Island of Grand Comore from the Yemen capital of Grand Comore. The representaive  from the regional air security said the plane came down 3 to 6 miles from the coast. There are civilian and military already searching, but without much hope for the sea is very rough, and so is the weather.

Most of the passengers were believed to be residents of Comoros on the way home from Paris. Comoro is about 1800 miles south of Yemen.

What a sad thing to hear, but it happens all the time. Airplanes crash and most of the time it mechanical or pilot issues that could have been prevented with accurate training, and proper maintenance.

Is this the reason for this crash? When will they find the aircraft? If they can’t search because of rough seas and horrible weather.

I will pray for the safety of the people aboard that plane but can not help but think it is another mass death by accident.

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean is a plane full of people who if not died in the crash might not make it through the storm that searchers can not get through to save them.

I will be watching for more info as it comes, and will promptly post what I have find out when I do.

Again 153 people are in the Indian Ocean, please give a moment of silence for them.
