A spokesman for the French government said that the location of one of the flight recorders of the A310 airliner that crashed on June 30 near the Comoros Islands has been discovered. The operation to remove the “black box” is scheduled for July 1. According to preliminary data, of the 153 people on board, only a 14-year-old girl survived.

Red Cross spokeswoman Ramulati ben Ali clarified the situation with the survivors of the plane crash. Earlier, the media reported that a 5-year-old boy and the captain of the ship were found alive. According to a Red Cross employee, among the wreckage of the liner and the bodies of passengers, rescuers found only one person alive - a 14-year-old girl, a resident of Marseille Bacary Baya. She was flying to the Comoros Islands with her mother. The girl was taken to El Maarouf Hospital. Her condition, according to doctors, is not cause for concern.

According to rescuers, at the time of discovery the girl was in the water and shaking violently. She couldn't use the life preserver that was thrown to her. Rescuers jumped into the water to help her into the boat. The girl was very cold. To keep her warm, rescuers covered Bakari with four blankets and gave her hot, sweet tea. According to doctors, the girl is conscious and can talk, but she is not asked many questions so as not to tire her. According to a Red Cross spokesman, there is little hope that anyone else from the A310 will be found alive.

Let us remind you that the flight of some passengers of the crashed A310 began at the Paris airport on June 29. With stops in Marseille and the Yemeni capital Sanaa, people flew to the capital of the Comoros Islands, Moroni. On the last leg of the flight, there were 66 French citizens among the 147 passengers. The accident occurred at 01:51 local time (02:51 Moscow time) on June 30. The plane crashed off the coast of the northern island of the Comoros archipelago while approaching the airfield. The wreckage of the liner was found approximately 30 km from the coast.
