Air France Plane Disappears

Through the history of travel, distortions have always been encountered. An Air France plane flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris carrying 228 people on board went through an electrical storm and then disappeared and no one knows where it or any of the passengers are right now. It shocks me that this is possible even in today’s day and age. Maybe turbulence was so strong and the pilots lost control and not able to recover. The plane was a relatively new model (Airbus A330-200) of one of the aviation sector’s most reliable and state-of-the-art aircrafts. According to the analysts, it would take “extremely violent weather” to bring it down. And that is only reason why everyone is stunned by its disappearance. Flying around in a storm is always nerve-wracking. Hard to imagine what the families are going through…Still sad on all fronts. Our sympathies and prayers go out to all the families and friends.
