Brazil sights possible plane wreckage in Atlantic
Tue Jun 2, 2009 8:48am EDT
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian military planes have sighted wreckage 400 miles off the South American country's northern coast that could be part of an Air France plane that went missing on Sunday night, Brazil's air force said on Tuesday.
The wreckage, which has still not been confirmed to be parts from Air France flight 447, includes metallic objects and plane seats, an air force spokesman said in a televised statement.

Cruising too fast for conditions, and then encountering turbulence. The faster it goes, the more lift on its wings(Bernoulli principle)...
I heard a engineer say that there is protocol for decreasing speed upon encountering turbulence.And, that the ship is designed for 1.5x the stress it will encounter.
I didn't "plug and chug" but it should be simple enough to compute the stresses on the wing, and the velocities required, with the mass of the ship, to cause catastrophic failure... if 1.5 is a correct number.

apparently the beacon can send signals for 30 days, perhaps a bit more and boxes have been recovered before in 2000 to 3000 ft of water...Air India crash for example...( I read the Globe&Mail)..anyhoo, IF they can locate the signal, they have a good chance of recovery or so I have read.
and Sman, that effing shower curtain thingy bugged me so much I bought weighted and magnetized shower liner(along the bottom) costs about $14 for the peice of freakin plastic! but it works

In that Area close to the equator, there are tremendous storms that would be a hurricane but it doesn't have the currents to spin the storm...
I'm sure Cousin could explain it better..
You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already.
