The tail of a plane that crashed into the Indian Ocean sticks out from the water... Amazingly, all 29 people on board survived.

Local media say the plane went down 5 minutes after take-off from the small island nation located along Africa's eastern coast.

Local fishermen led the rescue efforts by bringing passengers back to shore.

The plane was enroute to a neighbouring island when it went down.

In 2009, a Yemeni Airbus crashed in the same region killing 152 people on board.
