@aviationdisasterx: Air France Flight 447 had working engines, and it still fell 38,000 feet into the Atlantic with its nose pointing up. 😔 On June 1, 2009, the Airbus A330 was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when ice crystals blocked its pitot tubes, the sensors that measure airspeed. The autopilot disconnected, and the aircraft climbed, lost speed and entered an aerodynamic stall. The stall warning sounded for 54 seconds straight, but the crew never identified the stall. 228 people lost their lives in one of the most studied air disasters in aviation history. It took nearly two years to find the wreck and the black boxes, almost 4 km under the ocean. In May 2026, a Paris court found Airbus and Air France guilty of manslaughter, and Airbus says it will appeal. Could better training or a clearer warning have saved them? Tell me what you think below. 👇 #AirFrance447 #AirDisaster #AviationHistory #FlightStory #AviationFacts
