Ill-fated Air France flight AF 447 disappeared early Monday 4 hours into its 11-hour journey from Rio de Janerio to Paris carrying 228 people on board after the flight encountered technical difficulties over the Atlantic, probably the biggest aviation tragedy ever. The search continued throughout the night but proved to be futile and it seems there is very grim hope that any of the passengers would survive as said by the grim-faced French president Nicolas Sarkozy. A day-time search by Brazilian aircraft within a zone of 1100 kilometers of its northeastern coast did not yield anything. The exact cause of the disaster in unclear, however, Air France chief executive said that the aircraft had sent a series of messages shortly after crossing the area of major turbulence. However, the search is still on and we will keep our fingers crossed and pray for them.
