The trial of the plane crash of Yemenia Ariways opened Monday, May 9 in Paris. On June 29, 2009, 152 people died in the crash off the Comoros. The testimony of Bahia Bakari, the only survivor of the aircraft, was eagerly awaited.
It is the story of a miracle. In June 2009, Bahia Bakari, 12, has salt-eaten skin and broken shoulders and pelvis. She holds her father’s hand on the plane taking her back to France. The teenager had flown for the first time with her mother to attend a family wedding in the Comoros. But the plane sank in the waters.
Research is launched, without great means. Ten hours after the crash, a fisherman saves the sole survivor of the crash. The 12-year-old girl is brought back to France, knowing that she will never see her mother again. The plane had passed an inspection without incident. The investigation highlighted a lack of pilot training and poor airport signage. In the trial that opens in Paris on Monday May 9, the testimony of Bahia Bakari is eagerly awaited. Today atAged 25, the young woman is in search of the truth for the 152 disappeared.
