Two passengers aboard the doomed Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Paris, France on May 31st, 2009 have been linked to Islamic terrorist ties. With the loss of 228 lives in the Atlantic Ocean and a lost black box, the question over whether or not this is a terrorist act or a result of a terrific storm is still in question.
Four days before the crash, Air France confirmed a bomb threat at it's offices in Argentina but French authorities reportedly ruled out terrorism as a possible cause of the crash. Many aviation analyst were puzzled over this ruling in part that so little was known at the time of the plane's disappearance. Shortly there after, technical problems were the main focus of the possibility of the flight's crash and recently airlines all over the world have been replacing the external speed monitors that supposedly iced over and gave false information to the planes computer resulting in tragedy.
One item in question is the Spanish pilot flying the same area of the reported crash. He has reported seeing a "bright white flash" in the sky. With the reports of Islamic terrorist ties being alerted at this time, the worry has been raised in whether or not this crash could have been prevented and has links to terrorist activities.
