To advance this hypothesis, the experts note that the debris is scattered, sometimes separated by more than 300 km.
Two days after the disappearance of the Airbus A 330 Air France in the middle of the Atlantic, experts have a first index material to show that the aircraft disintegrated in high altitude. Tuesday, the first conducted a survey in fact shows that the dispersion of debris at sea is very wide. "You can see fragments of more than 300 km from each other," says a source close to the technical investigation. Subject to further information, the first element calls for an explosion that would affect the aircraft in flight. "If it were to be confirmed, such an disintegration at an altitude of about 10 000 meters could be explained both by the action of an exceptionally violent weather phenomena, plausible in the intertropical convergence zone used by the flight by a sudden depressurization or a terrorist attack.
Four working groups
To investigate the disaster, the experts of the Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) argue for hours not favor any scenario despite the ample evidence already collected. Wednesday, new debris, including a metal 7 meters in diameter and a record of kerosene by 20 km, in addition to seat and an orange buoy already found Tuesday, were detected by the Brazilian Navy.
On Monday evening, two investigators assisted by two representatives of Air France and Airbus took off for Brazil. In addition, four working groups were formed to focus respectively on the research at sea, the aircraft maintenance, operations and equipment. "We already have much information and we are now working to analyze their relevance in the understanding of the event," says the Director of BEA, Paul-Louis Arslanian, who adds: "My goal is to deliver a first report of By the end of June "Refusing to interpret this stage to the cascade of warning messages Acars transmitted by the aircraft shortly before the crash, Mr. Arslanian merely clarified Wednesday that the pilot of flight AF 447 referred "severe turbulence" during his last contact with the Brazilian air controllers. Turning to the history of the aircraft, he noted: "There is no evidence that the aircraft had a problem before the start."
Without concealing that it will probably be very difficult to locate the two black boxes from the aircraft by the deep stretching in the area of the crash, Mr. Arslanian finally conceded: "The investigation is likely to be long and I can not exclude that it is ultimately unable to reach a total certainty. "Meanwhile, the floor of Paris was taken yesterday of the investigation before announcing the opening of a judicial inquiry. > swap

thanks.
TWA flight 800 - Jack Cashill proved it was brought down by a rocket. You have to think it was a terrorist bomb. Everybody is being so quiet!
300 kilometer = 186.4114 miles
(I had to look that up so thought I would save someone else the trouble.)
:-). Thanks. LOL.
isn’t is amazing how physics change so dramatically starting in the year 2001.
If it broke up in a thunderstorm imagine how far lightweight material would be blow as it falls 35,000ft.
Don’t forget ocean drift amidst stormy weather.
I can see certain flotsam having more of a sail - but 180 miles?
Some people think it could not have been a bomb because fuel was left.
However depending where the bomb was and what it was designed to do, it may never have had to touch the fuel. All that may have been needed was to blow a big hole into the skin of the aircraft, and cause enough structural damage to rip the thing apart.
Thank’s dude. LOL.
It’s realistic, consider that upon disintigrating at 35,000 plus feet, there will be plenty of debris that is light enough, has a high enough velocity and shape to get a glide slope of 20 or so to 1. That would put stuff out 140 miles...
While offering that there WAS an earlier bomb threat; no one saying what else may have been said; like what group may have made the warning and/or without providing details; if this info was even provided.
So what are the chances these folks flew on a Boeing aircraft to Brazil?
I got it!!
Romulans
My gut feeling says it was a SAM that took it out, possibly from offshore. Though I think the security may not be as intense as flights in the US I still think it would be too difficult to smuggle a bomb on board because if that were the case this would be happening more often.
I will never forget how Rushbo supported the theory that the Fuel Tanks ignited and I think it was because his Buddy with the FBI was heading up the investigation of TWA 800. After the Sheeple were convinced the head FBI investigator retired and started with an independant security agency.
