from what i heard early this morning, they'd found the black box, and apparently it was all a misunderstanding.....

one passenger recognised a friend, cried out "Hi Jacques", the flight crew stuck thier hands in the air, and thats when it all went bad!

:angel:

these picture are hard to believe but were taken by a passenger on board. details are below. Hard to imagine the terror of such an event.:(
"The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the aircraft, just after the collision and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole."

Attachment 16170
"These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre . It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So the camera was found near the cockpit. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz. "

In reality if that happend at altitude, i doubt you would have time to be scared, let alone point and shoot your "happy snap". ;) The drop in pressure and temperature would be catastrophic in the true sense of the word.

Not even time to put your head between your legs and kiss...........

Oh I see ...the TV progam was "scarry" (sic) !:angel:

Beautifully framed and exposed photos considering the circumstances. Pity the Photoshop operator forgot to put an Air France logo on the tail.
