“French plane lost over Atlantic”

SNIPPET: “Brazilian air force spokesman Col Henry Munhoz told Brazilian TV it had failed to be picked up by radar on the Cape Verde Islands on its way across the Atlantic.

“Air Force planes left Fernando de Noronha and are flying towards Europe to start the search for the missing plane,” he said.
Flight AF 447 left Rio at 1900 local time (2200 GMT) on Sunday. It had 216 passengers and 12 crew on board, including three pilots.”
