Air Crash Investigaion - Air France Flight 447 Air France Flight 447 was a scheduled commercial flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France, that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on 1 June 2009, killing all 216 passengers and 12 crew members. The aircraft, an Air France Airbus A330-200 registered as F-GZCP, took off on 31 May 2009 at 19:03 local time (22:03 UTC). The last contact from the crew was a routine message to Brazilian air traffic controllers at 01:33 UTC, as the aircraft approached the edge of Brazilian radar surveillance over the Atlantic Ocean, en-route to Senegalese-controlled airspace off the coast of West Africa. Forty minutes later, a four-minute-long series of automatic radio messages was received from the plane, indicating numerous problems and warnings. The exact meanings of these messages are still under investigation, but the aircraft is believed to have been lost shortly after it sent the automated messages. On 6 June 2009, a search and rescue operation recovered two bodies and debris from the aircraft floating in the ocean 680 mi (1090 km) northeast of the Fernando de Noronha islands off Brazil's northern coast. The debris included a briefcase containing an airline ticket, later confirmed to have been issued for the flight. On 27 June the search for bodies and debris was called off; 51 bodies had been recovered. This accident was the deadliest in the history of Air France. Paul-Louis Arslanian, the head of the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses ...

I want to clarify that I will not personally share my speculations regarding what I think caused this aviation incident, but will share what the reports are from investigators, Airbus Officials, and Air France officials who are publicly stating their speculations.
Courtesy Força Aérea Brasileira Command and the Navy Command of the Air report that, as previously announced, between 5 and 6am this morning, the radar of the plane R-99 identified a number of points to 849 kilometers of Fernando de Noronha, off the northwestern 69.5 kilometers where the AF 447 reported electric breakdown. A Hercules C-130 was directed to the site and visually confirmed the presence of objects in water. Then, at 08h14, the Corbeta Caboclo sought a seat in the local blue and moments later found two bodies, and various components of the aircraft. These bodies were transferred to the Frigate Constitution. At 11h39, the R-99 of the Brazilian Air Force took off from Fernando de Noronha to continue scanning electron and captured during the afternoon, several objects to the west of the area where the bodies were removed. As expected, visual search of the aircraft take off and then to clarify these points. Around 16.00 a FAB C-130 spotted the other locations with possible debris. Thus, the search will continue concurrently to the rescue of the various components of the aircraft already located. The Corbeta Caboclo and ship-Grajaú Patrol will continue to remove material from the sea this evening. But the planes follow the same design used in earlier days, prioritizing the actions of search and rescue after the wreck. The two bodies have been rescued on the way to Fernando de Noronha on board the Frigate Constitution. It is pertinent to stress that Fernando de ...
