AF447 Plane Accident

[jackass]

To anyone that watches Lost...

It's a bit weird that, not only did a plane go missing, like on lost, but if you add up the numbers... 4 + 4 = 8 and 4 + 4 + 7 = 15 which is 815. The plane that crashed on lost was Oceanic flight 815. Haha, weird.

But yeah, RIP to everyone that was on that plane.

Looks like theres a VERY slight possibility of retrieving the black boxes at that sort of depth. Shame really..

They will have to try there best. Even if it takes months and years. Even if its just some wreckage that shows some damage or whatever, they really do need to find out what happened to a 4 year old aircraft. They also need to rule out terrorism/aircraft fault and anything else.

Ps. Yes I know about the weather conditions, but you never know. It could of been something else.


Here is more information about the bomb threat 4 days before the flight.

Air France received a bomb threat four days before Flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, it was revealed yesterday.

An anonymous caller made the threat to a plane heading from South America to Paris - just like the doomed jet.

And the theory that Flight AF 447 could have been downed by a bomb was reinforced last night as it emerged wreckage from the Air France jet has been found spread over 55 miles of the Atlantic.

Following the phone threat, Flight 415 was grounded in Buenos Aires as sniffer dogs made a full search - but no explosives were found and the Boeing 777 was allowed to leave the Argentine capital.

Well even so, transporting a deep sea excavator to the supposed site of the black boxes (when they locate the pinger) it would take at least 4 hours to reach the sea bed and also possibly a day or so to locate the pinger, including the deep sea currents.

Right and? I seem to be missing your point here. I know its going to take sometime, they might not even find the black boxes. We just have to hope they can.

Details have emerged of the moments leading up to the disappearance of flight AF 447 with 228 people on-board, with error messages reportedly suggesting the plane was flying too slowly and that two key computers malfunctioned.

BIG UPDATE

Debris 'not from Air France jet'

Debris recovered from the Atlantic by Brazilian search teams does not come from a lost Air France jet, a Brazilian air force official has said.


Brig Ramon Borges Cardoso contradicted earlier reports that debris had been found, saying "no material from the plane has been recovered".

A wooden cargo pallet was taken from the sea, but the Airbus A330 had no wooden pallets on board.

Relatives have been told that there is no hope of survivors being found.

Air France chief executive Pierre-Henri Gourgeon and chairman Jean-Cyril Spinetta briefed the passengers' relatives in a hotel near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport where they have been waiting for news.

Mr Gourgeon said the jet, which was carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, broke apart either in the air or when it hit the sea.

Oil slick

Brazilian navy vessels have been combing the area, about 1,100km (690 miles) north-east of Brazil's coast.

Three more Brazilian boats and a French ship equipped with small submarines are expected to arrive in the area in the next few days.

Brig Cardoso said that fuel found in the sea probably did come from the plane, because it was not of a type used in ships.

However he said a large oil slick photographed in the area was more likely to have come from a ship.

He said the search effort would continue, with the main focus on finding bodies, but bad weather is forecast for the region on Friday

Yeah just heard that the stuff they found was from a sunken ship.
