Many Die in Plane Crash Off Sicily
At least 1419 people were killed when a Tunisian passenger plane made an emergency landing in the sea off the Italian island of Sicily.
There were 39 passengers and crew on board the Tunis Air plane.
At least 20 people have been rescued. Many were seriously injured and taken by helicopter to hospital and five are still missing.
The plane was on its way from the southern Italian town of Bari to the Tunisian resort island of Djerba.
A full search and rescue operation quickly got under way at the crash site some 13km (8 miles) off the Sicilian coast, but rescuers now say no-one is left inside the plane.
