Parting can be sweet sorrow. Or in the case of Ben Gordon, who verbally agreed to join the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, he feels sorry for some of those he’s leaving behind in Chicago.

“To the fans, I generally had a great time being here,” Gordon said in a phone interview. “For my true fans, I feel bad for them. The longtime fans of the Chicago Bulls - I just felt like they’re being cheated.

“Not with me, but just things that happened in the past. I feel like the fans deserve a lot better.” Source

(CBS/AP) A bruised teenage girl who is the only known survivor of a Yemeni jet crash clung to wreckage for more than 13 hours before rescuers found her floating in the Indian Ocean, a French official said Wednesday.

There was no word on any other survivors. French officials said one of the plane’s black boxes had been found, which could provide clues into the cause of Tuesday’s crash off the coast of this former French colony.

The Yemenia Airbus 310 jet was carrying 153 people to island nation of Comoros when it crashed into the sea early Tuesday as it attempted to land in the dark amid howling winds.

An Associated Press reporter saw 14-year-old Bahia Bakari in a Comoros hospital Wednesday as she was visited by government officials. She was conscious with bruises on her face and a gauze bandage on her elbow.

“It is a true miracle. She is a courageous young girl,” Alain Joyandet, France’s minister for international cooperation, said at the hospital. “She held onto a piece of the plane from 1:30 a.m to 3:00 p.m.”

Tampa Bay’s Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
