As media furiously refrain from speculating, it’s odd to be hoping that a lightning strike, an electrical malfunction, or some combination of both was responsible for the crash of an Air France flight that disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean last night while en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. Because there aren’t a whole lot of other possibilities that don’t involve explosions.
While flying between the two cities is far, far safer than driving regularly in either of them, the stratosphere is an unforgiving environment, and the possibility of deliberate harm is also still out there. A sad day for both countries.
A whole Airbus dissapears. No nothing!
Lightening my ass.
Very sad situation!
Hope we get a great surprise about this finding the plain and the people alive!
Couldnt not relate to the TV series:_ LOST
For me an incident like this services as a reminder of how much we choose not to worry about when we step on a plane. One unnerving thing about this one: there appears to have been many hours when no one in the world had a clue where the plane was. Which apparently is standard operating procedure given current technology.
This reminds me of the Air India crash back in the 1985. There was no word on that one either.
By the way, terrorists blew up Air India.
