Laden with 228 passengers and crew members, en-route to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport from Brazil's Rio de Janeiro's Jobim international airport, an Air France Flight 447 jet tragically went MIA mid-Atlantic; following an encounter with monster thunderstorms? Icheoku says, as vast as the Atlantic ocean is, it will be very difficult if not impossible to locate the airplane; which tragically took the 228 people on-board to their watery grave! It is feared that the plane was ripped into smithereens by the murderous storm, which will further compound the search and recover efforts? Icheoku extends our heart-felt sympathy to the families of the men and women aboard the ill-fated airline; as well as the management of Air-France on the tragic loss. Several military air-crafts were scrambled as well as some naval ships to the presumed point of disappearance to help with recovery. France has also sought United States of America's help with its super-secret spy-satellite as well as its other eaves-dropping listening capabilities to help locate the wreckage of the airplane. The sudden disappearance of Flight 447 was so dramatic that some UFO enthusiasts are saying that it was possibly snatched by some unknown aliens? As to what actually happened no one is really sure; but speculation strongly favors violent thunderheads reaching heights of more than 50,000 feet high which pounded the plane with hail and high winds, causing structural damage, forcing it to its sudden catastrophic end. What an awesome power of mother-nature that could generate a 50,000 feet high storm; maybe enough to wean the West of its energy dependence on Middle Eastern oil? While French president Nikolas Sarkozy was more realistic with his expectations that the chances of anyone surviving is lower than zero, Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, was overtly optimistic when he expressed hope that "the worst hasn't happened and that Brazilians will have to ask God to help them find survivors? Icheoku says, there is nothing wrong with hoping, but sometimes, a realistic hope is the better way to go. Flight 447 left Rio on Sunday night May 31, 2009 with 216 passengers and 12 crew members on board; people from 32 different nationalities including two Americans, but majority of whom were from Brazil and France! The 216 passengers included 126 men, 82 women, 7 children and a baby; of which, 61 are French, 58 Brazilians, 2 Americans and others from 30 other countries. According to reports, the plane was cruising normally at 35,000 feet, doing 522 mph when it disappeared just four hours into the ill-fated flight. At about 10.48pm, as the plane left radar contact beyond Brazil's Fernando de Noronha archipelago, headed to Paris, no trouble was reported; but shortly after, north of the equator, a wall of towering thunderstorms developed? As the plane went through it at about 11:14 p.m. an automatic message from the plane's computers came through to Paris, reporting electrical system failure and a loss of cabin pressure? And that was it, the last known human contact with the plane, - the moribund Flight 447? Flight 447 was a 4 year-old Airbus A330-200, twin-engine, long-haul, medium-capacity passenger jet that can hold up to 253 passengers. There are 341 in use worldwide, flying up to 7,760 miles a trip. Air France has opened telephone hot-lines for friends and relatives of people on the plane - 00 33 157021055 for callers outside France and 0800 800812 for inside France. Icheoku says, may souls of those departed Air France Flight 447 passengers and crew, rest in peace, Amen!
how can a passenger plane fly into a wall of turbulence which it could't survive; afterall whatever happened to all the technological gizmos aboard the aircrft? or was it UFO to struck the plane? we need answers.
