Air France Flight 447 Missing AF447 Rio Brazil - Paris France

[foxyroxstar]

@Fox!Rock'sCzar!...I'd wish tremendously that they could have made it Home!..just watching the 10 Most Airports to have a little fear in landing there at..I know I was looking for the impatient Danish pilots mistake....Hello My Friends Hello!..(that was just an aka@!)

[PlayingWithMahDS31]

French authorities are liars.There was pitot tube failures,how?Super cool liquid in the thunderstorm affected it.There was an information overload.

[barthoedemaker]

@PlayingWithMahDS31 prob right

[MColeProductions]

The search teams have just found some wreckage from the flight just a few hours ago.

[RicoCoracao2011]

@MColeProductions now they get the plane 4000m deep and try to rescue black box etc r.i.p., all the power to the involved familys

[RicoCoracao2011]

i love AF but this was my route all time to rio

(from duesseldorf to paris to rio & back)

.

r.i.p. and all the best to all families lost someone.. ):

i flyed all time with jumbo 747 this route

[iJay842]

the peta tubes were blocked causing it to go into a storm than it got hit by lightning and lost all control and crashed in the atlantic.

[ChicagoCrew]

85% thrust 5 degree up nose angle would have prevented this tragedy. Poor piloting and poor pilot training.

[ChicagoCrew]

The most plausible theory I have heard is that the pitot tubes, of which there are three, froze over thus resulting in a loss of air speed data. With this loss, all the automated systems shut down forcing the pilots to actually have to fly the plane. The pilots, in their panic at all the failure warnings forgot basic procedure and did not apply thrust and positive elevator angle for a nose up attitude to avoid a stall. The plane fell like a rock. Automation killed everyone on that flight. Sad.

[football94281]

i think i know how Air France 447 crashed i believe it.........

flew through through thunder storm and all the engines got hit by lightning and the engines failed so the plane stalled and plunged to the Atlantic Ocean and dissapeaered off radar completley.

[zappaflorida]

I believe this acicdent was like many others air crash, a chain of events that cause the accident

[kittymilamia]

I've developed a phobia flying on air planes after I flew from Paris to Chicago. Our airplance couldn't get landing gear in place and we were making circles around lake Michigan for an hour or so. Behind my sit, were sitting drunk Americans who were very lound, noisy and smoking and singing very loudly "we are going to crash" remembering that is horrifying.

[mariahessel]

@kittymilamia OMG! that is scary!

[jordybresil]

Luz a todos.

[MrShulman1]

add me plez

[scream18ify]

ok heres what i think happend well they went through thunder storms which were hard and blocked the pito heat and the plane has sent out fausle warnings then they lost power and they thought that they might be going to slow so they increased the power which would of broken it in the air or they thought they were going to fast and they brang back the power which made them stall and they didnt have enuf time to pull up and crashed i think thats what happend to it hope you liked this comment

[ThomsonAirwaysFs]

I still cant believe no black boxes are found. It was at a nice stable alttitude FL350 35000ft, cruising around 0.80-0.84. i think it got lots of tail wind, increasing the mach speed nearly to mach 1, which gave the aircraft lots of stress. Thats what triggered all the warnings. The suddenly wind shear hit the aircarft, causing the tail to rip off, because of the stress it was already undertaking.

[Ravenholm1982]

I heard about will be 3-th stage of black boxes searching in 2010 winter... Neverthless people want to know real causes of this crash.

[hardmission]

Concorde accident:AF4590 one of the worst air accident in history, All one hundred passengers and nine crew on board the flight and four people on the ground were killed

and AF447 crushed into the ocean:This was more terrible than Concorde accident ;228 people died and most of them could not even found..

Now How can you decribe an airliner which has these accident records as the most reliable company???

[bubby963]

@hardmission

true, though the concorde crash wasnt their fault this one was caused by ignorance, they didnt change the pitot tubes like every other airline did and this is why the plane perished

[amwaybootcamp]

Looks like the alien ships took the plane and passengers again.

[Ravenholm1982]

It looks like we will never now the truth about it. Black boxes too deep!

[alexanyanEVN]

rest in peace

[level7gymnastics]

OMG my uncle was ABOUT to get on this flight but god bless the man thayt old him no let someone else fly with this airplane... but like 4 of my uncles friends died... they were going on a business trip.... R.I.P god bless everyone on this plane!

[blkhat117]

well frist thing planes get hit by lighting all the time while flying through storms and nothing happen, maybe it was a electric magnetic interference that screwed with the planes electronics.

[Lusy81]

ah, people...again this comments about how bad is AF as airliner etc...no, definitively not. I flied with AF more than 50 times, without any issue or problem. Among those flights were long-haul-flights as AF 447 was one. Perhaps those, whose mean AF is worst airliner at all should try to fly by some asian or african airlines as i did...probably then you would change your mind...OMG...to fly with some of those companies is like russian roulette. AF is the greatest european airliner but not worst

[slapmeseewhathappens]

wow most of the plane crashes to me r from air france

[maliczughaiyir23]

air france is the worst airline ever when we landed he broke the roof when we landed

[clarinetman1664]

Liar. Jealous. What number of flight, wich plane and from where and when ? We'll check this, here all of the incidents are listed.

[mbm13213]

What to avoid an untimely death?

Don't ever board an Airbus.

[xtremejt86]

I agree with you 110% all the way. The Materials they put on the structures are extremely weak and chances of the wing structure breaking off during turbulence is 70%. I know this becuz I worked on an airbus before.

[JamaicanBacoon]

70%? are you sure about that? Cause alot of plane going through turblence and im sure one of them are airbus...

[clarinetman1664]

What to avoid to tell bullshit ?

Don't open your mouth.

[Lusy81]

hm...you must be joking or? But if, then very vad joke. I am flying all my life long - most of those flights on board of Airbus or Boeing. And i have to tell you all dangerous situations i ever witnessed were on board of boeing...not airbus...so i am not so sure about airbus as you are.

[Nesithegrinch]

This is horible imagin your in the plane!Freaky!

[pozeidon99]

it would be like tom hanks movie the one of fedex

[PEEWEEK707]

i bet they will make a movie bout this in the future

[cicifanforever]

ive never have been on an Air France plane

[lukituchi]

I feel sorry for those families who lost their loved ones! RIP AF447

[switchkid54321]

when i flew with air france and i cheaked in i asked please could i sit in the shallowend :L:L:L:L

every1 i do find this sad.. thts jusa jokeo k :D

[attributionerr]

I like how the media turns the newscast into a brilliant trumpeting fucked up ode to joy weird requim in the beginning of the broadcast, stupid media

[metalmania68]

so fuckin'sad :'(

[GabrieLzl1404]

tragédia.. (y'

[sideslide23]

this Airfrance plane hauls ass compare to the Titanic. this aircrash incident is as serious as the Titanic incident took place 95 years ago

[ALAJOHNSTONE]

Yeah I wonder if they will get Leonardo Di Caprio to play the lead!

[toyyou2jp]

Where is it now? Did it crash?

[ididntididnt]

Do you not watch the news?

[StinaSBG]

wtf is up with that opening song? sounds like the opening og mcgyver or something! not very fitting for this sad, tragic story!!!

[silx2000]

Hi, I from Brazil. News: at this morning more 3 bodys were found and militarys said: We can see others at the sea. (yesterday 2 bodys was found)

[rawiiicode47]

but didn't the Air France plane vanished at night local time? on this link u have put just above shows that it is clear n light, not night n dark

[femr2]

That is a very old piece of footage of a known incident. Shame on you, or your friend.

I do not recommend watching the video.

[ridhwan79]

fly by wire....

once the computer system down, all the devices are mulfunction. That why the aircraft sent the error message to the ATC.

Once all the devices are mulfuction, the pilot couldn't operate the aircraft anymore. The aircraft may stall or loss of propulsive and lift forces as well.

If this occur, the aircraft will experience free fall fenomena at very high G which the aircraft may be break up/explode due to rapid pressure difference.

[femr2]

The acars messages were sent out over a 4 minute period. There were 24 messages.

Please view comments and links on:

watch?v=MMfjbOgFC0g

[dannepanne87]

The fly by wire configuration is redundant (triplicated). So the chances of all of failing is very low.

[bvestationfan]

@ridhwan79 fly by wire can also be affected by lightning as well

[kawas900]

modern day aircraft dont just drop out the sky.

[femr2]

Not acceptable. Bye.

[jpro747]

you must hate your life

[alexmun133]

so what are supposed to be a dog or something

[alexmun133]

i aggree with you that humans may be confused . but i noticed that you are the confused one and you show this because you are saying that some were taking a dump siping wine, sleeping. all this a normal and part of life. using the bathroom drinking sleeping all this is a necesity. and u must not think of terror , tell me if you were on a flight would you be freaking out telling them to prepare for death ? no because it would make you the filth

[donnyab]

@humanrascals

Do you hate yourself as well, are you dead yet, we will all miss you lol.

[Gordyjb]

@humanrascals well so r u you self righteous Biatch!

[guilhermecestaro]

rest in peace

[Chaotiz]

i'M SO SORRY!

[luxurycitydubai]

my cuzion was in the plane,rest in peace cuz

[St4rIa]

7 children and a baby............*sobs*

[rosbergs3]

The debris they found is not debris from this air france flight but people are still saying that the flight crashed. How do they know the flight crashed or exploded if they cant find the plane?

[EuropeFactor]

It crashed. It didn't land anywhere and isn't still flying around. It crashed.

[jpro747]

because it would have landed somewhere.

[imveryreglam]

Fuck France

[acatlim]

where is the plane have anybody saw it??

[EuropeFactor]

Bottom of the ocean. That's why no-one has seen it.

[cpmbarcelona]

I am so shocked. I have just been told, a friend of mine lost her father, mother, brother and sister in law, in this crash.

Ju, se voce tiver vendo isso, nao tenho palavras pra dizer o quanto sinto. Que descansem em paz.

[Danilocaparros]

Que tragédia hein amigo. Já é triste quando acontece com desconhecidos, imagine então com alguém perto de você.

[grizzlybear7779]

This is really a sad catastrophic event and scarily enough it could happen to anyone who flies :-( !!!!

I really hope they find the black boxes to uncover the mystery ....

May the departed souls rest in peace ...

[Biscuitsan]

I remember one black box being recovered from 4400 metres deep (I think from the South Africain Airlines crash in the Indian Ocean) and another one being recovered from over 6000 metres deep (I think from the one that crash in the Irish coast). So, there might be hope. I wonder if there was ever an air crash whose cause was left completely unknown.

[femr2]

There have been several very prominent aircraft events in which the flight recorders were either not recovered at all, or the content very strongly disputed. But yes, there is still much hope that the flight recorders can be found and will help to explain the event.

[sanjose21ca]

Why does it have to be a bomb? Why can't people accept the fact that this plane was built by humans, and humans are known to error. Engineering is NOT perfect. Think about what is happening, we created a machine weighing tons that goes up into the air. There was no bomb, this was a combination of bad engineering, human error and a bad storm. How tragic. For those childish fools who think this is funny, you are exactly whats wrong with society today. Have respect, this could have happened to you

[femr2]

It is too early to speculate. There is no reason to conclude bad engineering at this time. There is no reason to conclude human error. It is not even known whether the weather was actually responsible. It is not known if other factors, such as a 'bomb' were involved. It is just too early to speculate.

Wait until some debris has been recovered, once the ships arrive to collect it...next week by present estimates.

[rulesofengagement]

your correct , i concur with your statement and sanjose too, but when you have a big box that flys full of electric wires and lighting is a bad combo,

jus like the PACMAN destroyign and hitting OSCAR wth 26 power punches, DHL didnt hit the ground, but was broken in half and quit, this probably happen to the plance getting hit and spriling down the ocean

[Danilocaparros]

The blackbox only send alerts for 30 days and its in the middle of the ocean. Without blackbox is impossible to discover what happened.

[00101011011011]

screw airplanes, it's like playing the lottery, it's very unlikely that you will hit, but someone has got to win the jackpot... sailing rules

[Danilocaparros]

this pilot fucked up.. he flyed into the storm. there is huge ice cubes that probaly hit the plane.

[chinacrewtom]

never say a pilot is stupid...

[chinacrewtom]

and learn english : flyed ?? flew !!!

[femr2]

Learn English ? Can you speak Portuguese ?

If you are going to criticise others in non-English speaking countries, it may be prudent to ensure that your own grammar is up to scratch.

[And learn English. "Flyed" is spelt "flew".]

Pilots can make mistakes. Pilots have even been known to be drunk whilst flying. That is 'stupid'.

It is still too early to be apportioning blame. We must wait to see what can be gleaned from the physical debris, once it has been recovered.

[xlDeathlxJosey]

Stupid pilot flew in a storm.

[chinacrewtom]

All I know, that this plane crashed, because it had a crash with another plane months ago.

the heck is torn.

pointed out was so fast pressure that the flugzeug torn.

thats my opinion...

RIP

[Danilocaparros]

its impossible to find the blackbox in the middle of ocean.

[femr2]

Not impossible, as it emits a signal for a good 30 days which should allow it to br tracked once ships arrive. It will be difficult, yes, but not impossible. France has a sub on the way which easily withstand the depth required to reach the location, even if it is at 'the bottom of the ocean'.

[flirtiest]

i hope dey find survivors

[johnnygroover]

witness report a missile fired from texas 8:30 same day.

time line works

search: continental pilot reports missile.

[femr2]

Timeline does NOT work (8:15pm). The 'missile' report is currently thought to be a hobbyist rocket. Only a ballistic missile would be able to stay airborne many hours, and travel such distances. They are much bigger and travel at much higher altitude.

Ludicrous.

Whilst there are puzzling aspects to the crash, trying to put a square peg in a round hole does nothing to help the situation, and is flagrant 'scare-mongering'.

[Julitroid]

hahaha die if you wanna fly!

[femr2]

Making jokes out of peoples deaths will not be tolerated here. Do not repeat such nonsense.

[ROUSHMUSTANG29]

shut up u idiot people died on that flight and all you can do is laugh get a grip

[vrbmjdghyu]

the govt is surly tring to hide some info..

if they could find the debris then why not any sign of the passengers or any part of their body...all we can do is to pray to the almighty to give courage to the grived family..

[femr2]

"The Government"....Which one exactly ? French ? Brazilian ? Indian ?

I'm sure that visual evidence will turn up soon.

If no images are released within a few weeks of recovery, then such a discussion could be considered, but not yet.

[juuliuuz]

and if they found parts of the crashed plain.Why we cant see them?

[juuliuuz]

that's bullshit! Planes are protected from lighting! I think the government is hiding something

[imranokazmi]

I've ALWAYS propagated that PLANES SHOULD FLY AROUND STORMS NOT INTO THEM, cut the crap on "safety" you're talking of a small metallic object in a HUGE stormy condition that is subject to a lot more stress than it should be.

FAA should change rules 1) divert flights from storms, LOSE MONEY ON FUEL, SAVE LIVES 2) Plane levitation mechanism thru parachutes or buoys 3) Light parachutes tied to every passenger. Futuristic but LIFE SAVING imranokazmi.wordpress

[SuperArun123]

Parachutes may possibly save some lives only if a plane broke apart in flight and not if it crashed into the ground or sea !!!

[poyzamora]

you forgot to include 1 filipino seaman.

[frogvillage]

happened right after taitanic grandma passedaway.

[harrodslondon]

You mean last titanic survivor. How old are you? 5?

your spelling is also terrible you revolting dumb sack of shit.

[jewelshare]

Airbus regrets to confirm that an Airbus A330-200 operated by Air France has been lost about 3.5 hours after departure. The aircraft was operating a scheduled service, Flight AF 447, from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. The missing aircraft, registered under the number F-GZCP, was MSN (Manufacturer Serial Number) 660, delivered to Air France from the production line in April 2005. The aircraft had accumulated approximately 18,800 flight hours in some 2,500 flights. It was powered by CF6-80E1 engines.

[Loocas77]

Maybe there was a time-bomb planted on board before take off alike Air India Flight 182 in 1985 and Panam 103 in 1988

[femr2]

ACARS messages were transmitted for a period of around 3 minutes. It is not likely that could occur following a 'bomb'. Until the flight recorders are found and analysed, all opinion is simply speculation.

[sirElliot99]

R.I.P. all on flight 447

[Strollingchimp]

i have heard that the very plane that crashed had a bomb threat on the 27th may RIP To the passengers

[femr2]

There are numerous bouts of speculation doing the rounds of course. Bomb threats occur regularly, but I'm sure the aircraft involved was in a totally different country. Please include a source link whenever you make such statements.

[bgdguy]

Deepest condolences to families and friends.

[woopZwoop]

rip to all those passengers..

[PigsFucker]

RIP

[neromydog]

i believe its because of alien. they always ruin our electric and radar. i feel sorry for the families though

[CassidyzBoo]

This is really tragic.

[babynasty123]

there been so many plane crash this year it think that they should create something that would make the plane float or run over water

[femr2]

They do float. Remember the one that ditched in the Hudson ? But only if intact...a broken plane lets water in...

[pervertmuhamMAD]

What i don't understand is these pilots usually don't avoid going through these storms...I guess they think it is too much trouble going around it....

[femr2]

Plane searchers spot ocean debris

Brazilian aircraft have spotted debris on the ocean.

Some oil, a plane seat and other items were sighted 650km (400 miles) north-east of Brazil's Fernando de Noronha island, the Brazilian air force said.

The find can only be confirmed once the items are retrieved and the first boat is not due to arrive until Wednesday.

[mjfadaway23]

simply, tragic.

[Rolistem]

This region of the Atlantic here is well known for missing aircraft, but not as small Cessna or helicopter, but never happened to an aircraft as large as the A330 of Air France.

[Jefferlondon]

to those who makes jokes out of it, you are scum of humanity....i am brazilian and feel very sorry for those people who lost their lives as for all the other people from all around the world..

To me, these people making jokes are scum of society, ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!

[Jefferlondon]

hussssssssssssssssssssssssssss­s

[Jefferlondon]

scum of humanity those people who makes jokes about something very sad to those families and to us, human kind.. I am brazilian and am very sorry for those who lost their lives..... but to those idiots making jokes about it, you are animals!!! SCUM OF SOCIETY!!!

[yuchaocool]

OMG! This is TV show 'LOST" in real life..... All the best wishes to the family & frends of the passangers

[deathrattlers]

you sir are a douchebag 3legged stepchld who was breastfed by primitive chimp, because you lack the brains to be human, go jump off the cliff you excuse for the human waste,

RIP MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

[rolfzzzz]

NO swine flu ate them!

[rodrigo3155]

why are you doing it i think it's because there wasn't anyone from your country on the plane, am i right? so if you have nothing better to say just get the fuck out

[grizzlybear7779]

remember karma's a bitch ... so watch wut u say or do !

[rolfzzzz]

NO it was swine flu LOLL

[christophmeis]

what are you?

people care about their families and you make jokes??!!!

[nycolas1712]

friabin ........tribui,,,,,jam...jam..­...

[rachidouqc]

You're nothing but SHIT!!!

[azick]

BERMUDA TRIANGLE???

[femr2]

"For all mankind's brilliance in the digital age, it is an air disaster tonight that so far defies all technology all explanation.

The French Airbus simply disappeared from radar leaving no bleeping beacon, no electronic footprint on any satellite recorder - nothing."

[Vikkoman]

The route doesn't go to the triangle at all.

[planettint]

Wow my thoughts go out to the friends and family

[femr2]

"A succession of a dozen technical messages" sent by the aircraft around 0215 GMT showed that "several electrical systems had broken down" which caused a "totally unprecedented situation in the plane," said Pierre-Henry Gourgeon.

"It is probable that it was shortly after these messages that the impact in the Atlantic came"
