Scant hope as search continues for Air France plane

The search continued through the night for an Air France plane that disappeared over the Atlantic, but little hope remained that any of 228 people on board would be found alive. If it is confirmed that all 228 people on Flight AF 447 are dead, it would mark the worst loss of life in Air France's history and civil aviation's worst accident for more than a decade. Air France said the 216 passengers included 126 men, 82 women, seven children and a baby. There were 12 French crew members.

What the hell, I've been feeling so sad since last night when i heard about this news. May god bless, don't let history repeats itself. No "Mary Celeste" case to happen again!!

These types of cases are quite frightening. When I was in Sec 1, an Indonesian airline went missing on the 2nd of January. And they found the blackbox and I heard the recording till it "crash". It was really frightening, but yeah, so this in my other forum

What's a blackbox? I never knew what it was..

Its not really a blackbox, well maybe it is. For all I know its a recording of what the pilot says throughout the whole journey, even their personal chattings are recorded.

For instance, they would actually have the rough idea on what happened in the plane if it crashed or whatsoever.
Maybe you want to ask any of your friends who their father is a pilot?
