Update on Flight 447
More than a month after Air France Flight 447 crashed, there are more questions than answers. The latest report from the French accident investigation agency, BEA, contends that the plane did not break up in midair, but plummeted vertically into the water. However, some inconsistencies in the report are leaving some analysts skeptical. And, with less than 10 percent of the plane recovered and the black box still missing, the mystery of Air France Flight 447 may never be solved. Joining the Takeaway to discuss the crash investigation is Todd Curtis, Aviation Security Analyst and former air safety engineer for Boeing.
