What if there is a design problem with the plane? What if there was a bomb?

There are over 300+ A330 flying around the world and the only way to make sure its not a problem that might come up again is to find the FDR and the wreckage.

228 people have certainly died here. Yes, It's definately like finding a needle in a haystack, but if and when they find that needle, they can use it to find out what happened, and come up with a way to prevent it from happening again and losing another 228 people - which next time, might be someone you love.

That's why.

That's why they've searched for wreckages of previous airline crashes in locations that made it very difficult to find anything. Yet they searched, and they found, and they discovered things that made the effort worthwhile.

So the searchers found 2 bodies and a seat with serial # that matched the plane. I hope they find the reason of this.

agreed.

Plus, they have to give the victim's families a proper explanation of why the plane went down.

How is it becoming worse? Even from the get-go they pretty much concluded all 228 people died...

In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.

These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre .. It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.
That's very scary. RIP.

FUCK!

2006 Analysis: Hoax. The images above are video captures from the pilot episodes of the ABC television series Lost (note the handcuffs worn by the woman pictured on the left, a character recognizable to viewers of the series as Kate Austen, played by actress Evangeline Lilly). Similar images can be seen in video trailers for the series.

The tail in the first picture gives it away that it's fake but very scary pictures indeed. The scene in the pictures must have been very similar to what the people on the AF plane went through.

Dammit! I was gonna post that this was a hoax - as soon as I saw that shots, I knew they were from Lost. I see everyone else beat me to it :P

HOAX FAIL.

Edit: Hey, anyone else notice in the first shot, the handcuffs aren't even locked?
