air france flight

[heatherlynn22]

so did anyone else read on yahoo about the air france flight wreckage being found? it's sad they can't find bodies or any sign of life. they are now on a fight against time to recover the black box since it only sends out a signal for 30 days....i wonder if they'll be able to find it and figure out what happened. and i wonder if there just might be survivors. somewhere.....in the atlantic.

I hadn't heard the latest. How sad. I'm with you, Teko. I think I'll stay off planes for awhile. I know they're supposed to be safer than cars and all but boy, when they do crash, it's big.
I know when we were coming back from overseas we hit a thunderstorm and had some pretty rocky turbulence. I was a nervous wreck. The Captain came on and said once we got to a higher altitude we'd be fine but we'd be rocked around for a bit first. It was pretty nervewracking. I never cared for flying but I know sometimes you have to.

I hope they find that black box soon and can try to figure out what happened. What a tragedy. I will have to watch the news tonight. God bless all those lost souls and their families.

Thanks for letting me know about the 30 day thing.  That makes sense!  I hope they find it!  It will tell exactly what happened!

Looks like they found some of the reckage, and are investigating the bomb possibilities.  My heart and prayers go out to the families of those on board...
the signal from the black box only last 30 days, if they discover the box after that time it will still work, but the signal is what they need to find it, that is the 30 day thing.

This morning on the news this morning, I heard that the black box can work indefinitely as long as they can get to it.

I also heard that there had been no distress call and they don't even know if the chief captain was flying at the time.  With that bomb threat it really makes you wonder if that's what happened. Normally when they are in distress the captain calls that in.  

Whatever happened, my heart and prayers go out to the families of those who were lost!

Those poor Families am not certain how many Brits I heard there was an American on board, the news is from Saudi Arabia today and some coming from N Korea, he is sending the 2 long range Missiles off today,I think most think Kim Foo Ping  is a buffoon and take it lightly ,I hope they are right, if it was considered serious I doubt the President would leave the country do you.

They said it's as deep as 20-30,000 feet deep.  They were sending in mini-subs for assistance.  This is an awful tragedy.
