DEbris not from missing Air France jet

    The mystery surrounding the crash of an Air France plane off the coast of Brazil has deepened after Brazilian officials revealed that debris pulled from the sea was not from the missing jet.

    The search by ships for wreckage from Air France flight AF 477, which came down early Monday as it was flying from Rio to Janeiro to Paris with 228 people on board, is continuing.

    'Up to now, no material from the plane has been recovered,' Brigadier Ramon Cardoso, director of Brazilian air traffic control, told reporters in the northeastern city of Recife late last night.

    That contradicted a statement Brigadier Cardoso made earlier when he said a palette and two buoys plucked from the Atlantic by navy crews were the first pieces of the Air France crash.

    In fact, Mr Cardoso admitted later, they were nothing more than sea 'trash' - probably from a ship, as was a big oil patch originally described as a fuel slick from the French jet.

    It was just sea trash.

    Yah, it's spread over the entire Atlantic Ocean so now anything that disappears anywhere in it can be explained by it being in the Bermuda Triangle.

    Hold on a minute, no-one's saying that there isn't anything weird going on, just that for the moment, the usual place famous for disappeared things is not a suspect. Everything else is on the table...personally I think it's been shot down for some reason that will never emerge (wouldn't nbe the first time a commercial airliner was downed by military)...although that said, a plane falling 5 miles out of the sky into 2 mile deep water isn't going to be easy to find, but you'd expect in these modern times that something would be tracable...

    Exactly ,with no tangible evidence to go on , people (joking or not ) will pull out anything out to explain ie, bermuda triangle because their is nothing or little else to go on

    Do you really trust America?

    They could blow up Mexico and cover it up ffs.
    I think that option is definitely on the table.

    but what are you basing that on?
    Korean Airlines KAL 007 was shot down by the Russians (probably) and there's evidence to suggest that happened.

    Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down by the USS Vincennes and there's evidence to show this.

    There's zero evidence to show that this Air France flight was shot down. None whatsoever, so you're just guessing.

    Of course I am....so are the brazilian airforce and Air France and just about anyone else at the moment.

    In the lack of anything concrete and believable, I've gone for an outlandish and not unprecedented posibility...it's much more fun than the boring lightning/engine failure/gravity explanation.

    Is there evidence against his statement, other than we know nothing?
    You can not dismiss anything at this point in time.
