The Cause Of Air France Crash Of 2009, Which Killed 228 Has Been Revealed

Air France Flight-447 Crash Of May 31,  2009

The detailed revelation of the Air France 447 crash that took place in 2009 have been marshaled out in this October, 2014 edition of Vanity Fair Magazine. According to the story published, it was told that two out of the three pilots manning the Airplane were already far asleep , before one of them quickly woke up and shouted, and just like a flash, the air crash happened, that led to the loss of the 228 people on board the Jumbo jet.

According to the statements gotten from the conversation that was earlier had by the Pilots of the crashed Airbus 447 , names as follows; David Robert who was 34-years old then,  Pierre Cedric Bonin, a 32-year old and Marc Dubois who is the captain and was at time aged 58, has it that the the two younger pilots were quite gone asleep as the time the airplane was in tumultuous situation.



The Two Pilots of the crashed Airbus 447 who were sleeping : Pierre Cedric Bonin and Marc Dubois

As at the time of trying to refer to Pierre Cedric Bonin, a 'Company Baby' on the Rio de Janeiro-Paris flight, the piece reads: 'With most of the weather still lying ahead and an anxious junior pilot at the controls, Dubois decided it was time to get some sleep.

It was also said that the Chief Investigator of that Crash who is "Alain Bouillard" said thus;

'If the captain had stayed in position through the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone, it would have delayed his sleep by no more than 15 minutes, and because of his experience, maybe the story would have ended differently.

It has been stated that judicial investigation is under way against Air France and Airbus as charges of manslaughter for the crash that occurred  which is led by the Paris Judges.

 It was quite a sad moment, because these deaths of 228 people on board were as result of sheer carelessness and could have been averted if these young pilots were actually concentrating on their task. Well, the Airline industries should always endeavor to give adequate training to their Pilots especially to be show utmost care as everybody on board any aircraft at any given time has total confidence of safety reposed on the particular pilots and therefore, should not be made to regret it due to carelessness.

  1. Oh! such a tragic situation back then, it hurt to know that the cause of a plane crash of this magnitude was due to the pilots carefree attitude. I just hope that other pilots will learn from this
