An Air New Zealand Airbus A320 crashed into the sea off the southwest coast of France when it was on a test flight on Thursday. Rescuers found two bodies from the Mediterranean Sea and five per ple were missing.

“Seven people were involved. We have recovered one dead body,” said a spokesman for the Pyrenees-Orientales prefecture. The French search and rescue team said there was little optimism any survivors would be found.

Witness reported that he saw the plane dive abruptly and plunge into the Mediterranean sea. “I could see it was an airliner because I saw two large engines. There was no fire, nothing,” the witness, a local policeman, told France Info radio.
