Air France Flight 447 was a scheduled commercial flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on 1 June 2009, killing all 216 passengers and 12 crew members.
The aircraft, an Air France Airbus A330-200 registered as F-GZCP, took off on 31 May 2009 at 19:03 local time (22:03 UTC). The last contact from the crew was a routine message to Brazilian air traffic controllers at 01:33 UTC, as the aircraft approached the edge of Brazilian radar surveillance over the Atlantic Ocean, en route to Senegalese-controlled airspace off the coast of West Africa. Forty minutes later, a four-minute-long series of automatic radio messages was received from the plane, stating numerous problems and warnings. The aircraft was believed to have been lost shortly after it sent the automated messages.
On 6 June 2009, a search and rescue operation recovered two bodies and debris from the aircraft floating in the ocean 680 mi (1,090 km) northeast of the Fernando de Noronha islands off Brazil's northern coast. The debris included a briefcase containing an airline ticket, later confirmed to have been issued for the flight. On 27 June the search for bodies and debris was called off. 51 bodies were recovered.
The investigation into the accident is severely hampered by the lack of any eyewitness accounts and radar tracks, as well as the airplane's black boxes, which have not been recovered from the ocean floor. The search for the black boxes was called off on 20 August, but the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile (BEA) later announced that it would resume the search later in 2009. The search continued through May 2010, and on 6 May it was reported that the location of the black boxes had been pinpointed to within a 3–5 km2 area. French Navy spokesperson Hugues du Plessis d'Argentre described the task of finding the devices as "trying to find a shoe box in an area the size of Paris, at a depth of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) and in a terrain as rugged as the Alps," cautioning that there is no guarantee the data recorders will be recovered.
The accident was the deadliest in the history of Air France. Paul-Louis Arslanian, the head of the French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) described it as the worst accident in French aviation history. It was the deadliest commercial airliner accident to have occurred since the 2001 crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York City. It was the first fatal accident involving an Airbus A330 while in passenger service and remained the only fatal accident involving the A330 until Afriqiyah Airways Flight 771 in May 2010 crashed in Tripoli, Libya.
JNL, sent many letters to try to avoid this accident in advance , but ,unfortunatelly, it had happened in that time which he had foretold to the air company by all his letters which he had sent to them .
But here we let our respectfully feelings to all families of victms of flight Af 447 .
