Flight 447.com

This is really creepy:

As investigators seek to unravel the fate of Air France flight 447, there’s been speculation online about an unusual domain name registration made some two years prior to this week’s plane crash, flight447.com.

The mystery of the Air France flight that disappeared this week deepened after news agencies on Wednesday confirmed a previous Air France flight from Buenos Aires to Paris was the target of a bomb threat just days before. That plane was inspected and arrived without incident.

Now it has emerged that someone registered a domain for the missing plane’s flight number on September 30, 2007.

My mother is convinced that the plane was abducted by aliens. Personally, I think we have found the island of Lost. No, I am not making light of this plane crash, but I do find the circumstances of it very intriguing and mysterious.

  1. I’ve been reading that some are saying it was a bomb, but it seems unlikely with the weather (occam’s razor and all). They have found the plane’s debris, but all they know is that whatever happened was very sudden.

    How many flight numbers are available? 1,000?

    Are any combinations more common due to the way they are assigned? If so, tt seems that registering some of the more common ones might be something somebody with money might do on spec.

    Planes just don’t fall out of the sky the either collided with another in flight ( TWA & United over the Grand Canyon) or crash on either take off or landing.

  4. Let me help you out. After 11,000 hours and training as an accident investigator I have some experience which is valuable.

    The chance of a bomb is very low as there were ongoing data link messages from the aircraft. A bomb of enough power to bring down an airplane would put an end to those communications very fast. Our aircraft have a satellite phone capability to call anywhere in the world.

    Flight numbers do change over time. Some airlines change them to disguise continual late arrivals.

    Yes, planes do fall out of the sky. The recent crash in Buffalo was a result of pilot error and training which aggravated a stall. Mid airs are extremely rare. Take offs and landings are the most risky hence the most accidents.

    The Air France A3330 encountered a gradual but continuous degradation of electrical and flight control systems in what looks to be level 5 thunderstorms. Our radar goes out 32o miles and we travel 8 miles a minute so there is considerable time to see and plan.

    The A330 must comply with ETOPS rules-extended twin engine operations or we call them engines turning or people swimming and the aircraft surely was ready for flight.

    Let me know if you need more information.

    Of course planes fall out of the sky. If your engines fail, you crash. If the hydraulics fail, you crash. If you run out of fuel, you crash. If a spark from a faulty circuit ignites the center fuel tank, the plane explodes and crashes.

    Thanks Mike. That was actually valuable info.

  7. Dorian Gray says:

    Joking aside, if Mike would just stick to teaching me cool stuff about planes my opinion of him may change. 🙂

  8. That was very informative, Mike. I did read that there were several minutes of distress signals before it disappeared.

    For non-Portuguese speakers:

    much coicidencia my expensive (dear) one

  12. Delaware Dem says:

    babelfish is not your friend, Jason.

    Too much coincidence, my dear.

  13. jason330 says:

    You speak Portuguese? Even Portuguese people don’t speak Portuguese.

  14. I heard something like a 140MPH updraft, then breakup from the stress. If level 5 thunderstorms, it would support that theory.

    well , a passenger scheduled for that plane actually missed her flight you would think lucky for her !! but she crashed her car and died . so that plane was meant crash it was writing. even though she never made it to the plane but her fate was well writing for her.
    so dont say bombs etc it is none of that at all it was meant to be and thats how it is.

    Please tell me what sounds the french fleet picked up in the middle of the atlantic ocean, other than flight 447 black boxes
