World: Where did the &*^!%$ plane go? Air France jet falls off radar

  • It just vanished apparently. 228 people on board. The plane, headed from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris – an 11-hour trip that’s not exactly the most common flight ever – fell off the radar late last night and didn’t make its 11:15 a.m. local time (5:15 a.m. ET) landing in Paris. Officials are flabbergasted and trying to figure out exactly what happened. It’s likely it crashed. source
