I´ve flown on this route, Brazil/Paris Charles de Gaulle/Brazil, for ten years, with the A330-200 as a captain. Comunications within this area specially on the boundary between Atlantico and Dakar Centers, and specially with this last one, are very very difficult. And the worst nightmare possible in this route is an airplane coming down in the middle of the atlantic ocean, the area where its believed to be this aircraft. The logistic to do, and to complete the rescue, I believe will take a few days or even weeks.
My opinion is that something very serious happened, concerning the integrity of the structure of the aircraft, and or of the crew, and the thunderstorms may be just a contribuiting factor, for this tragedy. For sure, everything that could have being done, was done by this crew
