Authorities in Italy say emergency crews are searching the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily Sunday, looking for at least two missing victims of a Tunisian Air flight that crashed Saturday.
At least 13 people died in the crash; 23 aboard the twin-engine plane survived.
The pilot, who survived, says he was trying to make an emergency landing in Sicily but his engines failed completely while the ATR-72 plane was still over water, 20 kilometers short of Palermo airport.
Witnesses said the plane plunged nose-first into the sea. The chartered flight was heading from Bari in southern Italy to the Tunisian resort island of Djerba.
