All of the people are believed to have died in the accident. The plane went down May 31. The crash ! happened several hours after the plane took off from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The plane was supposed to land in Paris, France. Brazil is in the continent of South America, France is in the continent of Europe. The flight is thought to be a long-distance trip. The flight required the | plane to cross the Equator. Airplanes crossing the Equator often run into stormy weather. Strong thunderstorms were in the area where the plane was flying, The airplane was operated by the French airline Air France. The plane was an Airbus 330. Airbus is a European company that makes large passenger airplanes. Hundreds of Airbus 330s fly every day. The model is considered to be a safe airplane in which to fly. Investigators think the Air France plane broke apart thousands of feet above the ocean. Some bodies and some parts of the plane were found within days of the crash. About 50 bodies have been found. The plane crashed about 700 miles north-east of the coast of Brazil. Navy ships from several nations were searching an area that ; covered several hundred miles. The Brazilian Navy was leading the search. France's Navy sent a submarine. The submarine could be used to recover the plane’s so-called "black boxes.” The black boxes send out a signal for about 30 days. The plane sent 24 automatic messages in the final minutes. Investigators are studying the messages to find out the cause of the crash. ‘The investigation into this accident was initially hard as there was no eyewitness evidence and | radar tracks. twas difficult to find the aircraft's black boxes, which were located and recovered from the ocean floor two years later in May 2011. According to the black box at 3:55 minutes absolute time (time from planned departure), the captain woke the second pilot and said: “..] he's going to take my place”. Then the captain left the cockpit to rest at 4 hours 1 minute 46 i seconds. At 4 hours 6 minutes absolute time, the pilot warned the cabin crew that they were {| about to enter an area of turbulence. At around 4 hours 11 minutes into the flight, the plane had climbed to its maximum altitude of around 38,000 feet. The recordings stopped at 3 hours 45 minutes after takeoff. In October 2011, a transcript of the voice recorder was published in i the book Erreurs de Pilotage (Pilot Error) by Jean Pierre Otelli. Three seconds before impact, the transcripts records a crew member saying, "... we're going to crash, this can't be true!”3.
