Gambia News : Gambian person on board lost airliner
A person from The Gambia is among the passengers
believed to have been onboard an Air France plane which disappeared
near Brazil.
The plane - carrying 228 people from Brazil to France - vanished over the Atlantic after flying into turbulence.
The
Airbus sent an automatic message at 0214 GMT on Monday, four hours
after leaving Rio de Janeiro, reporting a short circuit. It is believed
it may have suffered lightning damage.
It had 216 passengers
and 12 crew on board, including three pilots. The passengers included
one infant, seven children, 82 women and 126 men.
The plane was well over the ocean when it was lost, making Brazilian and French search planes' task more difficult.
Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris has set up a crisis centre.
On Monday night, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said there was a "very small" chance of finding survivors.
