STORYLINE:
Relatives of the 153 passengers on a Yemeni jetliner that crashed into the Indian Ocean on Tuesday waited at airports in France and the Comoros for news of their loved ones, insisting that their earlier warnings about the airline's safety weren't heeded by authorities.
The plane crashed as it came in for a landing during howling winds on the island nation of Comoros.
There were conflicting reports about whether a child survived.
The crash came two years after aviation officials reported faults with the plane, an Airbus 310 flying the last leg of a journey from Paris and Marseille to Comoros, with a stop in Yemen to change planes.
Most of the passengers were from Comoros, a former French colony.
Sixty-six on board were French nationals.
In Paris, relatives gathered in Roissy airport desperate for more information.
Marc Rohff, a well known French Comorian rapper, told reporters there had been complaints about the airline for some time and that the Comoran government should have acted.
Another man told reporters relatives would have to fill in lists detailing personal details of their relatives were they to have perished for the purposes of identification.
Comoran and Yemeni officials said Tuesday that either a 14-year-old girl or a 5-year-old boy had survived.
But neither report could be immediately verified, nor could earlier reports that three bodies and some plane wreckage had been recovered.
Yemenia airline officials say the 11-member crew was made up of six Yemenis, including the pilot, two Moroccans, one Indonesian, one Ethiopian and 1 Filipino.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
