Investigators Determine Air France Disaster Caused By Plane Crash
French and Brazilian authorities said their first hint that the tragedy was caused by a plane crash came last week, when divers recovered several large metal fragments from Air France Flight 447 that were not fused together in one solid mass, as is typical of a functioning aircraft. The fragments were
then analyzed and found not to be airborne or otherwise soaring intact across the sky. The final clue, they said, was that certain key features of the crash site in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean seemed to be consistent with a huge commercial airliner having crashed there.The discovery of deceased Flight 447 passengers further supported the so-called “plane crash” theory, as investigators claimed these men and women would most likely have already arrived in Paris had the Airbus jet not gone down.
While the aircraft’s black box has yet to be recovered, officials speculated that the simple fact that they are currently searching for it corroborates their theory of a plane crash.
“It took us a long time to figure out exactly what led to this unspeakable event,” said Brazilian aviation expert Federico Lobão, who spent countless hours carefully studying footage of the wreckage. “Never could we have imagined that something like a plane crash could be behind such a catastrophic plane crash.”
