Well... back to reality.
Firstly you can read a preliminary briefing to pilots here.
Also the Courier Mail is reporting that signals from the black box have been heard by French submarines. If it's true, it means we may actually find out the cause of this.
Here is a more detailed story on the black boxes.
It sounds as though they have picked up signals but they haven't been validated yet. Tick tock tick tock :(
Well they are now saying they haven't found them....
We receive signals nearly every day....

The French military today has updated its efforts to find debris and dead bodies from Air France Flight 447, which crashed on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on the night of May 31 to June 1.
Since June 16, no more dead bodies and hardly and further debris from the A330-200 have been recovered, the military says.
The only significant progress when it comes to the bodies is that the body belonging to the AF 447 pilot, Marc Duboi, has today been identified. Duboi had extensive experience flying the A330.
It’s not for a lack of trying. Around 470 French military personnel are involved in the search, including two helicopters, an E-3F Awacs, two Atlantique 2 and a Falcon 50 maritime surveillance aircraft, in addition to the Ventose frigage, the Mistral command ship and Emeraude attack submarine.
So far, 50 bodies have been recovered, but none in recent days, and 300 pieces of debris amounting to a volume of around 35 cubic meters – that’s actually less debris than the French accident investigation office, the BEA, said have been salvaged. The BEA put the figure at 400 pieces.
The French military confirms that since June 10, it has picked up various noises that led search teams to hope they might have picked up the signal being emitted by the cockpit voice and flight data recorders, but so far none of the signals have proved to belong to the black boxes. The pinger is emitting a signal every second at 37 kHz (+/- 1 kHz), with a signal range of about 2 km.

And then suddenly, completely unexpectedly... nothing happened.
I dunno. Another Airbus went down yesterday in the Indian Ocean. One survivor.Quote:

The aircraft crashed into the sea about fifteen kilometres from the airport while going round following a missed approach in bad weather. Apparently no problem finding the crash site, even with the weather sitll bad.Quote:
