Air France: Unsensored!
Members of the Brazilian military have thus far located 28 of the 228 presumed dead passengers of Air France, flight 447, which was deemed “lost” this past week. Subsequent findings reveal the plane’s crash site to be approximately 230 miles off a Brazilian coastline. Facing pressure from its pilots, Air France decided to immediately replace airspeed sensors on all of its A330 and A340 jets. French air accident investigators have not yet determined that a problem with the speed sensors caused the doomed Airbus A330-200 447 to crash. In the meantime, they are looking into whether inconsistent speed measurements could have played a role since speed sensors can be vulnerable to icing in high-altitude storms, the type of weather that this plane may have encountered. Again, my prayers are with all of you affected by this tragic occurrence.
