World: The search for the missing Air France flight continues

  • They may have spotted some debris, but it’s too early to tell. It sounds like a total nightmare, but a giant plane falling into an ocean that dwarfs it makes for a crazy needle-in-haystack game. Fortunately, Brazilian air force craft have some leads in the form of debris 400 miles off the coast of the country. Sadly, the odds that they will find someone alive out of the the 228 passengers and crew are very low. The odds that a Portuguese Lost spin-off will happen in the wake of the crash are even lower. source
