PALERMO, Sicily - As the second engine of the small propeller plane stopped, Roberto Fusco rushed to put on his life jacket and brace for an emergency landing. Then the ATR-72 plunged into the choppy waters off the Sicilian coast, its nose and tail snapping off on impact.

“As soon as we heard the crash the water rushed in,” Fusco, 24, said Sunday, a day after the Tuninter flight went down while carrying Italian vacationers to Tunisia. “It was very fast. There was no preparation.”

Fusco was one of 23 survivors on the flight. At least 13 died in the crash, and authorities searched by air and sea Sunday for three more people believed missing.
