Air France Plane Debris Found
The Brazilian Navy recovered a tail section of Flight 447 that crashed over the Atlantic in addition to 24 bodies already found.
What most of you don’t know is that I am keeping a contiguous tab on the unfolding events because my return flight was the exact one but on the following day of the disaster. All it takes is a change in weather conditions and it could well have been my flight that disappearred from the radar instead. There were some understandably anxious faces when my flight hit some strong turbulence shortly after takeoff.

Geez…maybe you should go home on a different route
Talk about death knocking two doors down.
Happened to me once too, when I missed a flight that crashed on Halloween years ago.
Glad you’re still with us!
Wow…scary..Glad u r still with us!
i was supposed to be on a flight to Indonesia when the tsunamis came. thank god for inclement weather.
Kind of a “Sliding Doors” incident. You never know what will be the result of a small change in plans.
o my.. i really was, well, sad for what have had happened. it’s a “you can’t do anything but wait” moment.
Wow, that sounds like a close shave… glad your flight was one day later and you arrived home safely.
They mentioned this on the news…about passengers feeling nervous about taking the next flight. You must have saw quite a scene at the airport, huh?
Wow… I don’t blame you for being nervous or apprehensive.
That gives me chills. Glad you made it home safely. This whole thing is so tragic and sad, and scary.
@viadolorosa - Thanks!
@AYearWithoutSummer - There was a large group of TV camera crews parked right opposite the Air France check-in desk.
