Missing AirFrance flight!

Posted on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 2:01 pm


So depressing to read about the missing AirFrance flight news. To get lost on a land is different from getting lost in a no-man’s world. Getting off the atmosphere’s edge that is above the vast Atlantic ocean! I just cannot imagine the scene that could have happened.

I know there have been many disasters – natural, human-error and on the lead are the violent terrorist activities going around the world. But this disaster is so pathetic involving various factors – no reports to transmit, a wind calamity involving dense turbulence, high in the sky, trapped into the rough, big ocean! On the top, can you imagine the claustrophobia that could have impacted each passenger!

Did they have enough time to think where the disaster is heading to? What did the Captain tell them lastly? Did it fire already before diving into the ocean? Too many questions and I am sure researchers will have more related questions. I read the news originally from BBC but I am seeing a lot of technical info on CNN. Trade winds between North & South hemisphere – will this become another zone to refrain from flying/cruising like the ‘Bermuda Triangle’? Sure to have answers from experts down the line.
