An Air France Flight 447- Airbus A330-200 jet crashed over the Atlantic Ocean carrying 228 people aboard on June 1, 2009 on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. It flew into thunderstorms and disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean. It is believed to have hit severe turbulence near the equator and at the altitude it was flying, it's possible that the Air France plane flew directly into the most charged part of the storm — the top. The plane indicated it was flying normally more than three hours later as it left Brazil radar contact, beyond the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, at 10:48 local time. It was flying at 35,000 feet and traveling at 522 mph. Signal indicated electrical problems about a half-hour later, the plane "crossed through a thunderous zone with strong turbulence. It sent an automatic message 14 minutes later reporting electrical failure and a loss of cabin pressure. The area where the plane could have gone down was vast, in the middle of very deep Atlantic Ocean waters between Brazil and the coast of Africa. It is the deadliest commercial airline disaster since 2001, and it is the first major accident with the Airbus A330 aircraft. The two biggest groups of nationalities aboard were Brazilian and French, with 58 and 61 people aboard, respectively. Among the other passengers on the flight were two Americans, five British, 26 Germans and nine Chinese. Air France Flight 447, a four-year-old Airbus A330, left Rio on Sunday night with 216 passengers and 12 crew members on board. Air France officials says "it is possible" the plane was hit by lightning, but how a lightning can bring the plane down? Search and rescue attempts continue across a wide stretch of the Atlantic Ocean.
