  • We always fly on Boeing 777,no deaths from crashes on this plane built in mass...

    AIRBUS gives the on board computers to much say in the flight controls,the pilots should have the most influence...

  • Alienscientist: I too agree with hsd628. When you make comments that can not be substantiated you lose credibility with some of us. Stick to the science you are good at and that we enjoy about you. Leave the B.S. out.

  • If was a terrorist act, osama was appeared in tv giving some rares comments lol, and the plane had been suffer a explosion

  • According to FBI translator Sibel Edmunds Bin Laden was working for the CIA up until before 9/11. The only real terrorists are the ones controlling the American Government...

    I believe that this plane was downed to send a message to France not to go through with their promise to disclose the truth about ETs visiting Earth...

  • Alienscientist : I like your videos, but when I read this comment your credibility went through the floor for me. Not only is your theory completely irrational, I bet you a thousand dollars you can't produce a shred of evidence to support it. Shame on you alienscientist.. Shame...

  • @hsd628 i bet you a thousand dollars he can and another thousand dollars you cant : )

  • faulty wire harnesses.... go chk all of 'em quick!

  • hey people..they had no control of the aircraft..it must have had an electrical failure and crash..terrorism is one thing they shoulde rule out..and yes they lost control..personally they should check the plane's records..go back to airbus..watsfor sure is that air france and airbus have lost their faithful customers.what happens if an airbus a380 crashes??gosh..

  • Really sad news. Those poor people...

    I hope they find the complete truth to why it went down so future flights are safer... I personally thing it got hit by the storm and just started to fail till it fell.

  • @Dorisequador Well, not so much just the storm. The exterior Pitot tubes give the pilots their airspeed readings. If they are blocked the pilots don't know their airspeed. So they end up going too fast (breaking up the plane in the air), or too slow(stall and fall/crash)

  • More bodies and debris will be found as the intense current moves fiercely but the Brazilian gov't is targeting the wrong area. The AF 447 sank 888 deep on a mountainous terrain topsy-turvy at 2:30 AM in the mid grid of South Atlantic Ocean by the Argentina territories; the pilots failed to make a U-turn for they lost control of the cabin because of computer glitz and complete electrical failure in the cockpit.

  • where are you getting this info from? also I don't think the parts of the plane could be in the Argentinian territories!

  • lol That is why if I fly a plane in trouble, I would crash on land so they can find the black boxed easier.

  • dont be stupid..i bet you'll be the first to panic..gosh if u think ure so good,go fly a plane with 228 lives onboard and lets see if u can maintain the aircraft when its systems are failing..ogsh assholes..where r u from??britain??gosh..be more open minded

  • are you dam ou wat???????????

  • Do your math: French+Brazilians+ ANAC-DAC+SIVAM+DOI-CODI+Dilma+­KGB+Mossad-Dantas-Protogenes-P­F-Globo-DEIC-CIA+ABIN+Lula+Con­gresso+BarackObamaHussein+AirB­us= MISTERY

    It's sooooooo easy to do math nowdays, you only need Google

  • That is a serious failure... it must have been hit hard by Thunder or some kinda impacked.

  • its all speculations nothing for sure yet we cant not be sure so lets wait and see

  • there was a rumor some daays ago about a terrorism mesage in argentina in a air france aircraft,.. but here in this case the hole plane crashes into the sea without an explosino in the air,.. question is, does the 17 bodies they founded elevating two days after the impact or maybe the plane have had a hole in the fuselage befiore impact so bodies came out!

  • Today they confirmed that the parts they found are NOT parts of the AF477 plane.

    And that the oil path was made by a ship.

  • GOD BLESS.........

  • good story. but fuck the "flip" commercials!

  • To quote the narrator in this video "if no survivors are found this would be the worst aviation disaster since 2001"

    What month is the narrator talking about in 2001? Which Airline? Which disasters? Which plane crashes took place that year? Which country is he describing? Brazil? Its Brazils worst plane crash since 2001? Or the worlds worst plane crash since 2001?

    Im confused.

  • I believe they're referring to American Airlines Flight 587 that crashed in Queens, NY, on November 12, 2001.

  • does it really matter if it is the worst or not??????

  • i think hes talking about sep 11 2001 the world trade center disaster that was very sad as well

  • Comment removed

  • BBC Radio 1 News on 2nd June 2009.A reporter talks to the wife of a passenger who was on this flight " I recieved a telephone call from air france inviting me to a memorial service,i refused to attend,i told them you only attend a memorial service when someone has died,i think they were being too presumptious.."

    Make of that what you will.

  • Should planes really be able to break apart in severe weather? Forget cameras in the cockpit and floating black boxes, let's work on making the planes sturdier.

  • This would have been a smart tool to have on board the 767 that went into the world trade center 09/11/2001 or the 757 that crashed into the Pentagon. If these real life events don't inspire a push on paper I don't know what else could.

  • Also, in older aircraft like the DC-10 for American Airlines, I seen to remember they had cameras onboard in the cockpit for the viewing pleasure of the passengers to see takeoff and landing shots, like the A380 . It may be wise to require surveillance of all aircraft activities and have them remotely faxed or digitally sent to the home base of the carrier so that in the event a black box cannot be discovered, you have data that has already been dispatched

  • Sounds like a good idea this but can you imagine the hours of footage that would never be used for anything but would need veiwing and storing, then multiply that figure by the number of airliners flying.? that would need to be monitired,

  • CCTVs are already doing that exact same thing, and are very scalable; so its already been done, and tested. Now, it just needs extension to the planes.

  • Honestly if this had been a 787, I think they would have stood a better chance at survival. The 787 design would use trailing edge flight control surfaces to buffer some of the updrafts and downdrafts t smooth the ride and allow the pilot stability.

  • This appears to be the work of el nino winds in the lower equatorial region, coupled with severe turbulence from the high altitude. They must have hit a major front which is not rare in these parts. I remember an article depicting high winds when Steve Fossett, and Richard Branson where competing for the first around the world balloon. I heard the winds on the jetstream they had been riding on where in upwards of 100kts to almost 200kts.

  • God those last minutes must have been terrible. Those poor people.

  • nikki: i fly a lot and my feeling is, like it is for many - 'there but for the grace of Gd go I'.

    I would hate to die this way. Hopefully the cabin pressure failed quickly and the people lost consciousness, like happened on the flight from Cyprus to Athens a couple of years ago.

  • Was it Helios?

  • Wow this is like Air India Flight 182

    that happened 24 yrs ago.

    It took them months/weeks to find what happened

  • its simple. It's not terrorism because they are not causing terror. It's possible that noone will know about them, so they wouldn't do that. Terrorists wouldnt just get a plane down, they would hit something on the ground and they would let everyone know it was an attack.

  • At this stage in human technological development a jet flies into upward winds in excess of 100 miles an hour. There is something wrong here.

    So this plane was flying without a radar mapping of the weather conditions. This is an embarrassment to the idea of technological progress.

    Yes there are storm formations in the tropics that blow winds up at astounding speeds, and yes they are detectable by radar. Pilots are expected to fly around them.

  • Oh You can be sure this plane had the latest weather mapping equipment. But why they chose not to go around the weather? I don't understand ether.

  • This model aircraf is fitted with modern weather radar. This alone would have informed the crew of bad weather many miles ahead of his route. He would have ample time to make route change to avoid turbulant level. Clear Air Turbulance is a differant matter and does not show up on radar, if it was this CAT it must have been "instant and catastrophic " which I find hard to believe.

  • Terrorism cannot be dismissed. There is no evidence to support this claim. Until the wreckage is recovered, and the boxes found, then the claims cannot be dismissed or confirmed. Talk about piss poor reporting.

  • Ok, terrorism is possible, but it is very unlikely! I am pretty agree with wweppv94.

    I am not sure whether the pilot and the control tower know about 100mph winds.

    I do not think the crew is really stupid to fly with a deadly destiny!

    Also is is pretty unlikely that the is a lone survivor!

  • why was terrorism so instantly dismissed?

    really, it's clear that no one knows what went on at all, so dismissing potential circumstances is stupid.

  • well terrorists usually aim to make a scene and not just kill a bunch of people in the middle of the ocean where no1 can find them, they usually want to kill the people in the plane aswell as on the ground, so its very unlikely its terrorism....RIP the people on the plane.

  • hmm good points

  • But this wouldn't be the first time they've blown up a plane over the sea; Air India 182. Also the bombs they often times use for planes explode at a given altitude meaning it will be in the air and that they don't care about if its over land or water. Check the Lockerbie incident. So there's no way terrorism can be excluded yet.

  • times have changed tho now they want as much attention as possible and wheneva terrorist attack happens terrorist groups are lining up to take the blame too look more powerful...none this time

  • Comment removed

  • again -- pilots need to stop flying through storms. 100 mph winds! WTF?!

  • If i was the pilot i would turn that plane right around.

  • Renjiholic : i have flown this route several times. there are always electrical storms in the region. this is surprise to no-one. you are right - he should have turned back/away. That is the error in the end - misjudgment.

  • the jet stream frequently exceeds 100 mph / 160 kph.

    at normal transatlantic airplane cruising altitude (11,000 m) these are often encountered. Not an issue in itself.

    But if there was a breakup of the skin or, as happened with the Quantas flight, an oxygen cylinder burst, then this time the cabin would be breached and that's an end to it.

  • we already knew that
