An Air France flight en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris is now presumed crashed. It went missing sometime late May 31/early June 1. It appears a storm caused electrical problems, but there was no communication from its pilots about any problems, according to the New York Times.
Arlene Fleming, About.com's Air Travel guide, has some great information and resources in her post, "Air France 447 Missing, Presumed Crash - Heading to Paris From Rio de Janeiro - 228 On Board.
I am very sorry for all the people died in this plane. However, it is just a little part of those who die on routes!
