The teenage girl who is the only known survivor of this week's airliner crash in the Comoros Islands arrived back in France on Thursday.The Airbus A310 went down early Tuesday with 142 passengers and 11 crew members on board a flight that originated in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.
Bahia Bakari arrived at Paris' Le Bourget airport early on Thursday morning on a French government plane and was met by her father.
Bahia, said by her father to be 13 despite different ages being reported by other outlets, was transferred to an unnamed hospital suffering from shock and a broken collar bone.
Another rescuer told France's Europe 1 radio the girl was spotted in the rough sea among bodies and plane debris in darkness about two hours after the crash.
Bahia's father Kassim Bakari said he did not believe he would see his wife or daughter again after learning of the crash. He described how his daughter was ejected from the plane into the Indian Ocean.
