Good morning, I’m writing about the airbus 330 (flight AF447) who vanished just a week ago! I didn’t want to post because, till 2 days ago, they hadn’t found anything at all.

A missing Air France jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris ran into a tower of thunderstorms and heavy turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean, officials said amid fears that all aboard were lost

Chief Air France spokesman Francois Brousse said “it is possible” the plane was hit by lightning, but aviation experts expressed doubt that a bolt of lightning was enough to bring the plane down.

In these couple of days more debris and personal belongings have been recovered from the Atlantic by navy crews searching for the Air France jet which crashed exactly one week ago.

So far 17 bodies have also been retrieved.

“Euronews.net” – The Brazilian-led team is concentrating on an area about 70 kilometres from where the plane sent out messages signalling electrical faults before disappearing.

The wreckage and any bodies found are being transported to a the nearby Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha, where the military has set up a staging post for the search operation.

It is still not known what caused the crash but one possibility is that speed sensors may have iced up giving faulty readings causing the pilots to fly too fast into violent equatorial storms. you can read more here
