I agree. The plane was said to be flying through bad turbulence. Planes always do that. And that the thunderheads were extremely large around the plane. As if planes haven’t flown through large thunderheads with lightning before. If they were so vulnerable, there would be a lot more disappearing aircraft over the oceans. I flew from LA to Syndney once and we went over a cyclone near Fiji. It was rough with lightning all around. And that was 25 yrs ago. I would think the technology is much better now.
Yup. Curious how the MSM has kept this story to a minimum.
I was on the KLM flight from San Paulo to Amsterdam at roughly the same time and similar route and didn’t experience ANY turbulence on the flight... (I was supposed to be on the AF flight but couldn’t get a seat). When I arrived in AMS and saw it on CNN, my first thought(after calling wife and kids) was something brought it down (not the weather) - either a bad part from a company that assembles planes in many countries or from something blowing it apart...
