Possible, yes. No doubt the speculation will cease before more evidence is found, but please hold off on the fearmongering.

k well the French govt refuses to rule out terrorism. they also just said that there were two people on the flight that were on a terror watch list. maybe just another coincidence.
Today a woman who missed the flight as se was late was killed in a car crash.
Spooky.
Spooky.
Latest news is that the bodies' injuries are consistent with the aircraft breaking up at altitude.
Given the large debris field I was sure that was the case.

Autopsies on some victims of the Air France Flight 447 disaster show the bodies have multiple fractures but are not severely fragmented, suggesting the plane broke up in the air, a report said Wednesday.
A spokesman for Brazilian medical examiners carrying out autopsies on the 50 bodies that have been recovered told The Associated Press they had multiple fractures of legs, hips and arms. The official spoke on condition he not be named due to department rules.
A former U.S. National Transportation Safety Board official said those injuries could mean the plane broke apart in the air. Frank Ciacco said bodies would be severely fragmented if the jetliner hit the water intact.

Earlier Wednesday, French investigators said they had found more than 400 pieces of the plane that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil on May 31. The Airbus 330 was en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 216 passengers and 12 crew on board when it disappeared from radar screens as it flew through stormy weather. All are believed dead.
Speaking at a news conference near Paris, French air accident investigation agency head Paul-Louis Arslanian said the debris is from all areas of the plane. He didn't provide any further details about the recovered wreckage or say how much of the entire plane has been found.
The search for the aircraft's voice and data recorders is intensifying, Arslanian said.
"We are at the first days of the research underwater, research which is focused on the time being on the recorders and more precisely the beacon, the acoustic beacon which is fitted to the recorders," he said.
Investigators are using manned and unmanned submarines to search the crash site, which is spread over more than 230 kilometres, located about 640 kilometres northeast of Brazil's Fernando de Noronha islands.
The ocean floor where the debris has been spotted drops as low as 7,000 metres below sea level.
It's still too early to draw any conclusions on why the jetliner went down, Arslanian said.
"It is premature for the time being to say what happened and it would be irrelevant and misleading to elaborate on partial and from time to time erroneous facts," he said.
Drawing on his lengthy experience as an air crash expert, Arslanian said crash investigators are working in "one of the worst contexts for an aviation investigation."

There was a special on BBC a while back which said that blocked pitot tubes leading to a catastrophic stall were the most likely cause. Thoughts?

i personally think they flew into a thunderstorm and got iced up big time
because basically the airbus automates everything.....but cannot do it if everything like pitot tubes and other things are iced over
Well, clogged pitot tubes would really screw up the alitmeter and airspeed. About the only back up in a situation like that would be a good GPS system. Does anyone know what that type carries, as far as GPS?
85% power and 5 degrees pitch up....
no need for gps
no need for gps
automation is great for saving money on gas etc.
but when the aircraft is in danger, pilots can't disengage it fast enough to save the aircraft
remember the Airbus crash at the Paris air show? damn computer wanted to land and the pilots couldn't override. Perfect landing is the trees!

Actually its been shown it was simple pilot error, flying too low, too slowly with too little speed and not having a map which showed trees.Stubbee wrote:

And it was at an air show, just not in Paris.

Fuck Israel
Wasn't a pitot tube error what caused that B-2 crash in Guam a couple years back?
Pitot tube iced over? Break that vsi baby.
i dont think this was pitot tube errorHurricane2k9 wrote:

you think it was ice on some other part? don't planes have de-icing systems?
Yeah they do but one of the theories was that at that altitude in the storm they may have encounter super-cooled water and the pitot heat systems could not keep the pitot tubes clear.Trotskygrad wrote:

pitot error is not ice related. flying into such a massive storm will overwhelm any system.Trotskygrad wrote:
