Would they have done so if they weren't? That's a question neither you, I, nor anyone else can answer. I believe they would have (after all, it was pretty much the only information they had to go on and they had to base the first interim report on *something*). You may think differently.

Three lies in one single image :
  1. People will think that what the pilot was seeing on his weather radar screen was exactly that big red area.
  2. People will think that the pilot has intentionally penetrated that same big red area.
  3. Why are not depicted both the aircrafts that have flown the same route as AF447, in the same big red area ?
That image looks a little... how should I say... "dramatic" for an accident report. It looks more like a sensationalistic press cutting to me - how are the BEA responsible for that (any more so than the investigators in other countries responsible for their press getting the wrong end of the stick)?

Let me know what you think of the stuff I PM'ed you!
