I've noted some discussion of weather-related issues (turbulence) as being a possible initiator of AF447's loss. (please note the use of possible)
I do not, in any sense, wish to start a flame war concerning the topic of
climate change/global warming. (I prefer to call it global warning.)
However, and I'm sure those who are currently still flying would be able
to support, or refute this, perhaps AF447 is just the beginning of some rather
unpleasant nastiness brought on by the forces of nature, run amok.
In the back of my mind, anyway, I continue to wonder if AF447 entered a "freak" weather system which would have been "unsurvivable" by any aircraft ie, loss of control.
I know this is all conjecture on my part and I have seen no evidence of my
supposition. However, the images I have seen of the weather systems present at around the time of AF447's flight do show some degree of nastiness. But, perhaps, these images just don't tell the whole story. Would any satellite be able to show exactly what is contained in any weather system?
In essence what I'm thinking is that perhaps AF447 is just the beginning
of other weather-related phenomena heretofore unseen, and unexperienced, because of climate change-related issues?
I'm ready for the daggers now!
