I dislike intensely whenever a disaster happens like an airline crash and the government of any nation without any proof starts calling it an accident and the press piles on that it was caused by weather.
The French Airbus flight 447 story does not add up in many ways. Routinely, American research planes bounce around in hurricanes and do not ever crash. Yet 447 flying into thunderstorms not as large as hurricanes was supposed to have been downed by weather.
Two Lufthansa, German airliners passed through the same area of turbulence and yet experienced no problems.
Added to this a Brazilian carrier's crew reported seeing bright spots in the ocean in the area of the downed plane.
OK, the weather reports were posted saying it was the storm that downed 447 stated that this was a rather large storm system, so the question begs is in clouds and rain, just how does another plane see bright spots on the ocean surface?
Certainly storms move, but this was supposed to be this dreaded equatorial storm which those who entered could never leave.
If one examines the data which came in, it showed that an electrical system malfunctioned. I believe one other report spoke of a loss in cabin pressure.
Yet no flight recorder nor beacon was activated on impact.
Lightning of course was immediately blamed, but lightning when it strikes a plane the energy is bled off through the hull of the plane.
So none of the official explanations are adding up, no more than when Flight 800 went down from weather that turned out to be an Islamocommunist missile.
Could an anomaly like St. Elmo's Fire, which is ball lightning, perhaps have entered 447, floated about into the cockpit, where it in even more rare events, detonated the electrical charge, short circuiting the entire electrical grid and blowing out the cockpit's windows?
Yes, and an iron meteor might have entered the earth's atmosphere carrying an electrical charge which it arced into 447 with a concussion that blew out the cockpit windows.
All of that though gets a bit outlandish, but is certainly closer to the mark than President Sarkozy without any proof, telling the world it was an accident or the press harping about a storm.
Certainly downdrafts do occur and knock planes from the sky, but they do not cause electrical malfunctions nor do they depressurize cabins.
What does cause like events where electrical systems malfunction are explosions cutting the wiring, which blows holes in cabins, which in turn shred fast moving aircraft into pieces so their tracking systems do not go off on impact, perhaps, if the debris is small enough.
A great deal like the Lockerbie jet which went down over Scotland, which the terrorists mucked it up on as that plane was supposed to disappear over the Atlantic.
So in examining the "who" and the "what" and the "why", the passengers are interesting in the direct royal descendant to the last emperor of Brazil, executives of French tire giant, Michelin, German steel manufacturer, Thyssen Krupp and the Brazilian mining giant, Vale.
If this was a crime, it was directed at France as it was a French plane. Mr. Sarkozy and the press were way too fast in the same manner as TWA 800 in coming up with a story which has massive holes in it.
For real analysis, 447, manifested a direct problem in the cockpit on the pilot crew. They could neither send out a distress as is normal, because something was interfering.
I will remind people that even in a plunge, it takes at least a minute for a plane to hit the earth. These airline people are professionals and would in that time radio some type of distress call.
Their not accomplishing this, means something violently took out the cockpit in seconds, the plane stayed together long enough to use automatic signalling and then the entire plane broke apart at high altitude.
Airbus planes just do not disintegrate nor behave that way. That is why French pilots fly them into storms directly without concern.
Everyone is discounting this as a non terrorist event. Yet South America is full of Muslim terrorists, Brazil's racist el presidente just blamed the worldwide economic slump in white guy bankers and France has a host of enemies who could create an event, and what better place to do such an event that over the Atlantic where the debris will be lost.
People should remember that TWA 800 had no one take credit for as it was a state sponsored terror attack coming out of Iran.
Conclusions are someone brought this airliner down and not some thing of nature. It could have been for any number of reasons from murder to state sponsored terrorism.
All that is known for certain is the published data does not match the known facts nor operational protocols. People are lying and spinning this is the conclusion which of course means it has nothing to do with what they are saying.............and more to the point President Sarkozy like President Clinton like President Johnson, all do not want a war being started over some event as national rage pushes things like President Bush being demanded into doing "something".
The evidence at this point points to an act of humans, not of nature and not mechanical failures.
Who did it? The French CIA knows and there are some people whispering to Leon Panetta likely scenarios and candidates...........as the real heroic people of Homeland Security delve into this while Napolitano constructs her lists, to keep this from happening to an American carrier.
This could have been the opening salvo in testing on France in the American theater what is coming for America.
One mechanism failing is a system failure, several failed in 447 which points to a deliberate violent act.
