Air France Crash Terror Investigation

The French secret service is investigating whether two passengers on board the doomed Air France 447 flight had links to Islamic terrorism. It raises the possibility that the crash was not an accident. Alistair Bunkall reports.

is it not possible that the tail of the airplane fall off (from big wind whatever)

and then the pilots losed controls and the airplane crashed??

@pietenpol2010 Britain is stuck with Airbus and I think the French are out to get total ownership of Airbus in a devious manner. Its surprising all the Brits do for their share is build wings while France and Germany builds planes.Theres some thing wrong and I believe the French are out to screw some one way or another and the amout money Airbus owes and the recent 6 Billion more Euros of debt is shared. France has all the plants for building planes at the expense of Britain, Spain + germany?

@pietenpol2010 Allot of people have said the A380 Airbus is Europes revenge on Boeing by wanting to put them out business. Boeing knows better to build a plane for revenge and Airbus has done so and their regreting it. Since 747-8I came out 5 months ago Boeing has117 orders while A380 has none for the year + has to sell 500 to break even. Airbus desperate 4 cash built cheap A320neos + will not be paid till they deliver in 2019 plus A350 has no engine + is now called the A350-Delay-Liner, LOL.

@LottoWinner999 Yes they did, but they did not understand fatigue. They thought if they built it strong enough it would not break. We now know that aluminum fatigues to zero. The only pressurized aircraft in WWII was the B@( and its design life was very short. BTW the problem w/the comet was the square windows. Why all modern aircraft have round corners on the windows.

@LottoWinner999 Actually to be certified, and this is in France too they have to be able to withstand 3.5G positive and 1.5 negative with 150% of that being ultimate load. It withstands 1G just holdin itself up in the air:)

@pietenpol2010 Thats the biggest mistake Airbus made by taking the pilot out the captains seat and replacing them with a computer. I saw this aviation cartoon were an Airbus pilot on the right was flying the plane + it the dashbord that only had had a switch that said on and off and below that it said "Do Not Touch". On the left was a Boeing Pilot and CoPilot busy flying the airplane and monitoring a who slew of electronic instrments. Google aviation cartoons and you might find it.

@pietenpol2010 One of the amazing aircraft was the Lockheed Constellation and Howard Huges ordered 100 of the four-engine airliner that carried 128 passenger in 1940 and did 377 MPH. Well Pearl Harbor happened and USA government drafted all 100 of them but finally they let Howard Hughes keep three of them if hehelped them out on air desgin. When I was 6 years old in 1954s kids go up to cockpit and sit in a chair for kids and watch the crew of a Pilot, Co-pilot, Navigater and Aircraft Engineer.

@pietenpol2010 In the late 1930s Boeing, Lockheed + Douglas built pressurized civillain aircraft during WW2. In 1943 Boeing built B-377 double decker in with pressurized cabins. 1950 American manufacturers were way ahead in pressurized planes. Sorry the Comet was a rush job to beat Boeing to the jet airliner market + they cut corners with a thin skin + workers nailed the screws in instead of drilling a hole. Four Comet crashes made ppl affraid to fly and Boeing 707 arrived took over the market!

@pietenpol2010 I was in USAF from 1966-1969 and I leanred allot USAF aircraft + I was not a pilot but I was in Vietnam. I saw allot of aircraft + hitched a ride on B-52 any time I got a chance to fly. I saw B-52s hit with Russian SAM missiles + it was amazing how much damage the plane could take + still land. In SAC AKA Stretegic Air Command U would not believe how much stress + strain Boeing aircraft R put though. So when U fly U should realize A380 can't take a 1G force without coming apart.
