Default Re: Air France airbus goes down

Hi viking,

Let's not let our imagination run away with us. Eventually the black boxes will be found and everything will be revealed.

There are one or two points about the crash which to me don't really make sense.

Firstly the authorities exclude the possibility of a bomb, even though they admit the aeroplane broke up mid air, this being proven by the scattering of the debris. The thing is the authorities don't know what brought down the plane, so how can they rule out a bomb? If they know what it isn't, then they must know what it is. Right?

Secondly they speak about the 20 messages in four minutes prior to the plane going off the radar. They do not say that for a plane to hit the water, it would take at least two minutes to fall from the sky as we're talking high altitude here. Most of those messages could have been sent on the planes descent, switching off the automatic pilot could have been done by the pilot as the plane becomes out of control, faliure of this and that as it was going down and the cabin was eventually depressurized and invaded by the elements of -55C. The radar contact would have been lost on impact and anyway the flight was in 'no mans' land' where it leaves one radar juristinction (Brazil) to another (Senegal) so the flight really was lost when it didn't report to the second radar area so the actual oment of loss of contact is only an estimate.

They say that the pilot tried to fly the plane over or through a storm. There are radar devices in the plane which monitor where the storms are and it's normal for pilots, even the more experienced ones, to skirt round the 'eye' of the storm instead of trying to go directly through.

The good thing, if you like, is that more bodies and debris are turning up so the Brazilian navy together with the French sub can get a relatively better chance of finding the carcass of the plane and consequently the outstanding corpses and eventually the black boxes.

As for the NASA video taken before the crash happened, possibly days before as the cloud cover is sparse, it was raining heavily the night of the accident yet land forms can be seen from the satelite image. With that said and done it would be interesting to know what those images are on the video. It really is suprising that Google has a camera that can see a car on the ground. Imagine NASA. When will it learn to take sharp pictures?

Also I'm not too keen on dramatic music to try and make a sinister point. It just doesn't wash with me.

Best regards,

Steve
