Just so so sad. RIP to everyone who died.

They must find out if the Plane was at Fault
as loads of those planes are flying today |
It is more likely to be pilot error as they were descending for 8 minutes and there was no distress call, or the plane was hijacked by terrorists who slammed it into a mountain, although I would have thought if it were terrorists they would have downed it in a residential area for maximum mayhem.
RIP to all on board. |
It Exploded in to bits (it may have)
Pilot Error? Or a Bomb on a timer that went to soon? Terrorists could get on it as it started in dodgy Spain |
Not followed the story didn't realise it exploded, but wouldn't it have exploded anyway if it hit a mountain? They are not very hot on security in Spain I agree
|
I'm watching the news now and it isn't saying anything about the aircraft exploding. Contact (air traffic control sighting) with the plane dropped off at 6000ft but that doesn't mean the plane exploded, it just means they were no longer able to see it on their radar.

Yes true Black Box Found by France good news on that |
It looks like the plane came down in a culvert and culverts are particularly hazardous at this time of the year because of major rock fall. Its going to be a risky recovery operation.

I hope the Black Box now found will tell us why it went down fast |

Those poor relatives and friends :( |
I know it's heartbreaking for all the victims families but I feel particularly sad for the families of the school children who were on a trip, I can only imagine how excited they were to welcome them home only for this horror to happen.

Flying over the Alps always makes me have my heart in my mouth, it's actually pretty scary. But I do agree with Niamh that aviation accidents do seem to have been more frequent in the last year... :(

you may think it - but factually - airplanes are a very safe way of traveling. statistically proven. |
the numbers of deaths and crashes has fallen consistently and considerably for years. the worst periods were the 1940s 70s 80s and a bad year around 2000 so overall youd have to say the planes are in fact safer than ever......this is no consolation to these victims and their families. heartbreaking tragedy

If you take them as a long average, things are definitely looking up. And nothing could ever be a consolation to victims of families, numbers or no. |
