At least Drudge is on it.
If they do have to report that it was a bomb, they will never point out the bomber was a Muslim.
Just a poor marginalized extremist driven to desperation by American oppression.
I thought the flight of interest was from Brazil to France, not Argentina....?
I read where this occurred in Argentina, next to Brazil. Odd?
That COULD explain the absence of a MAYDAY call!
“a bomb threat”
Muhammud?
Grow up.
Yup. I thought it odd that the first thing said in an article that I read was “It wasn’t terrorists!”. Of course the first thing my Hubby asked me was “Has anyone taken credit yet?”
Does it transmit from the ocean floor (radio signal)?
One to watch.
Indeed.
Thank you Jet Jaguar.
We live in interesting times.
It does and it will.
How hard? I do not know.
It would certainly depend on the depth underneath the wreckage site.
Crash survivable boxes are not flotation devices. They will be with the wreckage.
The ocean floor where they are looking is 13000 ft deep and the black box emits a signal for about 30 days-have to see if they can find it.
Bump.
It was a victim of bad weather. The place where Air France was over the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms, that circle the globe near the equator. The solid band of clouds may extend for many hundreds of miles and is sometimes broken into smaller line segments. The ITCZ follows the sun in that the position varies seasonally. It moves north in the northern summer and south in the northern winter. Right now the sun is over the equator causing this bad weather. This is the area where hurricanes are born.
Over the ocean, en route to Paris... poof. Gone.
It’ll be official when the NTSB concludes it was a center fuel tank explosion.
We shared a waiting area with an Air France flight from Seattle to Paris last year- I was surprised at how many Arabic looking passengers boarded and that a few of their gate staff also appeared Arabic.
