Thread: Air France Airbus goes down

^ downwards acceleration - dropped down in a death spiral.

So many unanswered questions. The cause will never be known for sure unless they find the black box recorder. Something that seems very unlikely now.

Now there could be something lost in translation here ( I have worked as a team member - for insurance companies-on several aircraft incidents) and this is the exact phrase that was used in the report ( translated from French) on a Boeing B-707-379C that went down in 1983? at Aberjan - Ivory Coast .
Turned out that the plane was straight and level with no forward speed i.e. in an absolute flat stall and dropping like a pancake !
Only a thought, but it was 'deja vue' to see that phrase again after forgetting about it for 25 years !

If that is so then autopsy on the victims should show vertical compression of lower spinal bones below rib cage.
Still got some on file somewhere from previous but are not nice reading.

Well the wheels of justice in France turn very fucking slowly indeed.

Air France and Airbus have been found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter over the crash of Flight 447 in 2009 that killed 228 people.

The Airbus A330 was travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean during a thunderstorm in June 2009, killing people from 33 countries.

Both Air France and Airbus denied involuntary manslaughter.

A French court delivered the ruling today following a two-month trial, concluding that there wasn't sufficient evidence of a direct link between the companies' decisions and the crash.

Air France has compensated the families of those killed.
