French Plane Dissapeares Over The Atlantic

[Ben_Hutch]

An Air France plane carrying 228 people from Brazil to France has vanished over the Atlantic after flying into turbulence, airline officials say.

The Airbus sent an automatic message at 0214 GMT, four hours after leaving Rio de Janeiro, reporting a short circuit. It may have been damaged by lightning.

It was well over the ocean when it was lost, making Brazilian and French search planes' task more difficult.

France's president said the chances of finding survivors were "very small".

So sad, wonder if they'll find the plane any time soon, scary to think it could happen to any of us.

I tell you what that is... the fucking Bermuda triangle n shit!!!! There's loads of planes, ships and stuff that's dissapeared round that area over the years!

Excellent shout hawzey. Defo crash landed on a secret island.

I doubt they will ever find anything. The ocean is a big place and takes forever to search, and even if they do ever find the exact place, by that time most of everything will have sunk and the currents will have taken everything else god knows where.
