The lone survivor of a 2009 passenger plane crash in the Indian Ocean that killed 152 people sat in the front row of a Paris courtroom Monday at the opening of the trial of the Yemeni airline which operated the flight.

Bahia Bakari, who has called her survival “a miracle,” sat in silence as the victims' names were read out at the start of the proceedings in a room heavy with emotion.

Yemenia is being tried in Paris over Bakari's injuries and the deaths of 65 French citizens. The company is facing a fine of up to 225,000 euros . There are 560 plaintiffs in the case. Two rooms at the courthouse were set aside to retransmit the proceedings.

“How could French authorities allow an airline to fly French passengers to Yemen on planes that complied with safety regulations, then let them fly on garbage planes, flying coffins?” Larifou said.

I really liked this guy. Predators come in all shapes, sizes, and professions. I hope they throw the proverbial book at him! take-out only, from now on... Sad, one of the few that brought true rustic Italian cuisine to North America.
