Most of the 16 bodies which have been examined in preliminary stages of the probe were found naked or with minimal clothing, suggesting the wind may have removed the garments.
Does wind remove shoes?

"Meanwhile, reports said the Air France plane may have partly broken up in the air before hitting the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the 16 bodies which have been examined in preliminary stages of the probe were found naked or with minimal clothing, suggesting the wind may have removed the garments."
Thanks, I don't know why it didn't auto-format.
I am totally confused by this headline. Did someone miss a flight then later die in a car crash?
When a body hits slipstream or sudden decompression, the body will be stripped. When the USN shot down that Iranian airliner, the bodies were found in the same condition.
But you can still bet on a terrorist attack.
no problem.
Not allowed to change original headline. Yes, someone missed the doomed flight and then died in a car crash. At the end of the article, the stripped bodies are mentioned, which is the anomaly I wanted to point out.
I don’t know, but diving into the ocean at over 200 + mph will remove paint. This is something that has been documented concerning many aircraft disasters. I would have to conclude that shoes, shirts, underwear are subject to the same forces.
A blast will. Or a high energy impact.
Interesting. Several years ago, a friend who was a former flight attendant, and I were talking and she told me that one of the emergency instructions given to passengers preparing for a crash, was that passengers were told to remove their shoes. I forget the exact reasoning and could be wrong, but it had something to do with the shoes melting.
Yes. A woman and her husband missed the flight that went down. They were driving in Austria a couple of days ago and crossed over into oncoming traffic. She is dead and the last I heard her husband is critical.
The only reason I doubt that it’s terrorism is that it doesn’t seem like a very good target. They figured out a sickeningly effective use of commercial airliners, and to crash one in the ocean during a thunderstorm or blow it up seems a waste of their psycho resources.
Aviation Accident Injuries; if you survived the pain and physical stresses of an airplane or helicopter crash; you will know that the twisted wreck often results in chunks of skin being torn from the body. Airplane crash results in some of the worst incidents of a degloving....

Not to be morbid or draw these things out, but I don’t see how an impact could remove the paint off a plane and yet leave bodies in the plane, (or out but falling) intact when it hits the surface of water. I will concede, however, that I’m not a physicist-ha.
Maybe a terrorist pulled the pin too early.Dont forget we aint dealing with MENSA members.
The Black Boxes will tell a big part of this, if they can be recovered.
