French Nuclear Sub Sent to Aid in Search for Air France Flight 447

A French nuclear submarine equipped with advanced surveillance technology has been sent to help find the Air France Flight 447 jet that disappeared over the Atlantic on June 1.

 

The hope is that the submarine will help find the flight data recorders, a discovery that would provide aviation authorities with concrete information concerning what caused the plane, carrying 228 people, to fall from the sky.

 

Recent reports have suggested the flight experienced severe turbulence as it hit a storm that produced 100 mph updrafts. That storm was also said to have pulled water up from the ocean and as that moisture reached the plane it quickly froze causing added problems to the pilots’ ability to control the flight.

 

Search crews initially thought they had discovered debris from the flight as well as an oil slick but it has since been determined that they were not from the Air France jet.
