Search and rescue operations are underway off the coast of Lebanon after an Ethiopian airliner crashed into the sea overnight. The plane had just taken off from Beirut en route to Addis Ababa when it came down during a thunder storm. Two UN ships have joined Lebanese army patrol boats and helicopters in the search. So far at least 21 bodies have been recovered -- a total of 90 people were on board.
