Even if we are in the modern times with electronics, the plane company should make enough provission for the pilot to over ride the system and use a mechanical device to get the plane to a safe location, this is total nonsense in the world we live in today to see a plane crash like this. Also the control towers around the world shoul get there acts together and don’t alow things like miscommunication like this to ocure

That’s stupid. All of the engines on a commercial airliner don’t just BLOW off the plane. Even if one engine failed, the plane would have been able to continue flying, return toward land, put out a verbose emergency broadcast, etc etc. It wouldn’t dive into the ocean in seconds.

I know that this flight didn’t fall due to electronic failure, but I think the engines blew, it has been an increasing problem.

when will the aircraft designers design a black box that can stay afloat…for example to deploy a mark flag on surface of water???

This is just tragic way to have to loose someone this way. My condolences to all the families that have to morn the lost of their loved ones thru this tragedy. There have just been too many tragedies on the air in the past year, and frankly is an alarming situation. I hope that more bodies are found and that all official find some answers for all of us. On the other hand no matter what only God may know ultimately what happened and how it all occur.

This is such a tragic story, i have been reading and viewing the news continuesly all week. What a horrible waY to die & of course poor families. You would think with ”high technology” these days that were safe, anything can happen any day.On top of it pilot seemed to have alot of experience I’ve taken my first flight this year and i am not planning to take another for a while. My condolences to all the family and my thoughts and prayers are with them.

THIS SHOWS THE AIRBUS PLANES ARE FLAWED BCOS THEY HAVE TOO MUCH ELECTRONICS
dependant on electric power & without it the pilots cannot control the plane
