French Airliner Goes Missing over Atlantic

[Bukefal]

are you allowed to bring your own parachute on the plane?

How are you planning to use it at such moments? There is no time to put it on, finding and opening a door in such a moment and jump out. Its impossible. And with the forces when opening a door in air, not possible. Its not like these parachute seats they have in jets.

[Bukefal]

I was thinking about the people who were supposed to be on the plane, but last minute canceled their tickets and stayed in Brasil. Thats a weird thought. Imagine you did that. There are several. One guy he had some problems with his passport so he was not able to catch that flight. A friend of his felt sorry for him and in support he also stayed behind with the guy. Imagine. Its strange.

Even one Slovenian guy missed the flight because his cab driver hurried to see a football game. So the Slovenian guy came too early to the airport. He wanted to catch this flight, but he learned that the plane did not have a seat with much legroom, so since he got their too early because of the cab driver, he was able to get an earlier air france flight which had a seat with legroom. So he got that one.

Weirdddddd. Probably the best not to think about these things at all.

I actually knew a guy on this plane, a friend of one of my friends.

His wife is 5 month pregnant...

That sucks



BTW, here's the stats for the Airbus vs. Boeing debate http://www.airdisaster.com/statistics/
Anyway, obsessing about airflight safety is pretty pointless if you're driving a car everyday.

So sorry to hear that

CNN just reported that the debris that was found was NOT from the plane. This is really bizarre.

actually, I have it mixed up. Macfarlane overslept, and Wahlberg changed his flight at like 10 the night before.

My daughter flew on an airbus 330 last night from Dublin to Frankfurt. It was completely uneventful I am happy to say. I'm also glad I didn't know she was on an Airbus until she was halfway through that flight.

Glad she got there OK.

Seriously...this is absolutely bizzare. I mean they found seats and life jackets...but not from the plane? How could such a big plane have disappeared like that? And how can there be such a BIG oil slick...it was like 12 miles long and it NOT be from the 447 because they say it did not have that much fuel? Does this mean there was another plane crash in that area recently which no one knows about?

That's really suspect

Thanks, me too...

a story I read in the paper was some guy they booked him for this flight but he fought it and wanted his previous flight and they gave it back to him.

Most likely drug smugglers.

[Bukefal]

They just reported that they found 2 bodies some 640 km away of the brasilian island it happened close too. And some pieces of the plane were found. Some countries are also sending submarines.

said they found a ticket for the flight also

[lefty]

Just sad


And I'm flying overseas this summer

[sonic21]

so my cousin is working at air france, he said they're trying to hide what happened, he said there was a problem (he doesn't know exactly what) and the plane disintegrated in the air 30 minutes after.

Boeing >>>>>>>>>>>>> Airbus

My friend, who is flight attendant, was talking to one of the captains she was flying with and the captain thinks that everyone on the plane lost consciousness. That could explain all the error messages and no SOS calls or whatever.
