Air France 447 wreckage found
Hopefully this can finally shed some light on what happened.

Underwater search teams have located pieces of an Air France plane that crashed in the Atlantic in 2009, French investigators said Sunday, offering a surprising new glimmer of hope in the protracted hunt for clues to what happened.
Previous extensive and expensive search efforts proved futile in attempts to shed light on the cause of the crash. All 228 people aboard Flight 447, en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, were killed when the plane slammed into the ocean during an intense high-altitude thunderstorm.

really?
What is with the French and their need to place criminal blame on someone for an accident? Manslaughter charges against Airbus and Air France when we don't even know what happened let alone why? Same as finding Continental and a single mechanic criminally at fault for the Concorde crash. Ridiculous!

You might be surprised to know that WE are the oddballs for NOT throwing people in jail for accidents.

Yeah I know, it just doesn't make sense to me. Every once in a while someone does something that is truly negligent or dangerous that causes other people to lose their lives and in those cases it makes sense to prosecute that way. But I have to say that most aircraft accidents are just that, accidents.
