  • What caused Air France Flight 447 to crash?

    Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330, crashed on June 1, 2009, after it was caught in an overnight thunderstorm several hours after leaving Rio de Janeiro for Paris. Ice crystals threw off the plane's airspeed sensors and its autopilot disconnected.

  • Who was at fault for Air France 447?

    While the court didn't find the companies guilty of criminal wrongdoing, the judges said that Airbus and Air France held civil responsibility for the damages caused by the crash, and ordered them to compensate families of victims.

  • Did Air France passengers know they were falling?

    For 3 1/2 minutes the passengers knew they were falling out of the sky, they were alive until the aircraft smacked into the water and immediately sunk the 2 1/2 miles.
  • The subsequent investigation found that as the plane entered a so-called “intertropical convergence zone” that often produces volatile storms with heavy rain, “ice crystals present at high altitudes had disabled the plane's airspeed sensors, blocking speed and altitude information”, said The Guardian.
