"Sole known survivor of plane crash, 14, flies to Paris; Spent 13 hours in Indian Ocean" by Tom Maliti and Angela Charlton, Associated Press | July 2, 2009
MORONI, Comoros - French officials late yesterday retracted claims that one of the plane’s black boxes had been found. French Commander Bertrand Mortemard de Boisse said that a signal detected from the debris of Yemenia Flight IY626 was from a distress beacon and not from one of the plane’s black boxes. The flight data and cockpit voice recorders in those black boxes are crucial to help investigators determine the cause of the crash off this former French colony....
Then what was it?
"Comoros crash survivor reunited with her family in France; Anger runs high in community over disaster" by Michel Euler and Tom Maliti, Associated Press | July 3, 2009
LE BOURGET, France - Anger over the crash ran high yesterday in France’s Comoran community. In Marseille, police broke up a protest of hundreds of shouting demonstrators who tried to block passengers from boarding a Yemenia airlines flight to Moroni, the Comoros capital. There were no injuries.
Yemenia announced last night that it was suspending all flights from Marseille to Moroni for an indefinite period because of the danger to passengers and airline personnel. It said it would reimburse tickets for canceled flights. In the Comoros, French and US ships and officials directed the search for survivors. Alain Baulin, a commander with the French Foreign Legion, said military planes spotted what appear to be life jackets floating in the sea yesterday, and divers were sent to the scene....

"Air France jet was intact before crash, reports say" by Edward Cody, Washington Post | July 3, 2009
PARIS - French crash investigators said yesterday that they have determined that an Air France jetliner that plunged from a stormy sky on June 1 was intact when it smacked belly-first into the Atlantic Ocean at high speed, killing all 228 people aboard, but acknowledged they have no clear idea what caused the disaster.
This is after weeks and weeks where they told us it was some sensor!
Btw, how does this account for the WIDE DEBRIS FIELD?
I'm having United 93 flashbacks, folks!!!!
Alain Bouillard, who is heading an inquiry by the French Investigation and Analysis Bureau, told a news conference that findings so far indicate the four-year-old Airbus A330-200 apparently broke into a number of pieces only when it hit the surface of the water.
Translation: It WAS a BOMB!!!
No inflated life jackets have been found in a month of searching, he added, indicating the 216 passengers and 16 crew on AF447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris were probably unaware during their final minutes that they were speeding from 35,000 feet toward the deadly crash.
But the key question - what happened to cause the plane to plummet without any known warning - was left wrapped in mystery and conjecture, offering nothing to reassure the thousands of summer holiday travelers scheduled to board one of hundreds of similar Airbus A330 long-haul passenger jets in use by airlines around the world....
Yeah, it is HARD to TRUST LIARS!!!!!!!
