“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.”

Yet, strange why a commercial aircraft would transverse this fully known zone of super bad weather, as other aircraft have done daily, and fall from the sky, without even a peep from the pilots.
I guess that we’ll have to wait on the black-box recovey to realy know - as much as our government wants us to know!
There will be cover-up!
I think we can trust the French and Brazilians to not cover it up.
Leastwise more than we can trust our own government.
It was bad luck that they were hit by lightning in a very sensitive area Again, we need the flight data recorder because everything is just speculation.
