Recovered Debris Not From 447 Crash

Heavy rain and poor visibility today is complicating the search for missing Air France flight 447. It is the latest setback in the increasingly daunting search for the missing jetliner.

On Thursday night, Brazil's military announced that despite earlier reports to the contrary, pieces of debris pulled out of the sea Thursday were not from the missing plane.

The confusion calls into question whether any of the debris searchers have spotted from the air is from the missing flight that disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean Sunday.

That’s bizarre and sounding a lot like the TV show Lost.

The debris are so wide spread by now and not to mention all the trash coming from Africa and South America that you would think it would be impossible to find stuff from that plane. Time to start looking under the Atlantic.

What is it from then? Especially if whatever they found was from an aircraft

So does this mean the presence of a fuel ‘slick’ on the ocean that was being pointed to as proof this wasn’t caused by an explosion wasn’t true?

Right, what was the oil slick from? Or, they found too much evidence of explosion on the debris, decided to cover it up.

I want to know whom was on the manifest.

Suspicious this happened just before zero entered his homeland.

Pieces of wooden pallets are not that unusual on the open ocean.

Nor are slicks from oil.

Over anxious Brazilian search & rescue.

That’s my question.
I thought I heard they spotted/found seats and even an
oxygen mask.

I didn’t think that to be unusual debris for a downed plane,
but now I’m curious where I read it.
