Been sat in hope watching the news this morning since 10am.
Plane went missing off all Radar screens this morning flying from Rio de Janeiro at 3.20am and was due to land at 10.15am in Charles de Gaulles. By now it would have ran out of fuel ![]() Seems like this is bringing back the discussions of flights across the Atlantic with only two engines is such a bad idea. |

we flew to florida on a BA flight back in 1997 that lost 1 of its 4 engines, I remember how casual the pilot was when he told everyone we'd be 45minutes late into Boston. Made me chukkle.
They're out of fuel now :O didnt know that tbh didnt think of that. Are they doing a massive search or anything? where abouts did it go off radar? (Last known location) |

228 on board, 218 passengers I think.

Brazilian air force is out. Disappeared 500 miles off coast of Africa (Level with Morocco sort of area). It is a weird thing to watch this sort of thing developing. |

Plane sent a message apparently had a short circuit after strong turbulence, there is a possibility it could've been flying through a storm...
Also discussing some tropical conversion thingy-ma-jigg. Last edited by plowsie; 01-06-09 at 11:47 AM. |

Planes shouldnt just go missing though, they must know where it is. Even if it loses all power teh axuilary systems provide enough power to the transponder. (yup I love air crash investigation too ![]() |

My sister was flying out today from rio ...almost had a heart attack when i read the 1st line.
Thank god shes on another flight. Not good how they can just lose a whole plane with all this so called "high tech" equipment they have. |
