Debris 'only sea trash' (2)

debrisDebris found floating in the Atlantic, which was believed to be from the Air France crash, is only “sea trash”, Brazilian officials have admitted.

A long oil slick off the coast of Brazil also thought to have come from the plane is probably from a ship passing through the zone, Ramon Cardoso, director of Brazilian air traffic control, told reporters today.

“Up to now, no material from the plane has been recovered,” said Mr Cardoso, speaking in the northeastern city of Recife.

Items, including a cargo pallet and two buoys, pulled from the ocean early yesterday – which Mr Cardoso had initially said came from Air France flight AF 477, which crashed en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris – came from another source, almost certainly a ship.

“We confirm that the pallet found is not part of the debris of the plane. It’s a pallet that was in the area, but considered more to be trash,” he said.

The pallet was made of wood, and the Air France Airbus A330 did not have any wooden pallets on board. “That’s how we can confirm that the pallet isn’t part of the remains of the aircraft,” Mr Cardoso said.

    The MSM “b*llsh*t” machine is in high gear advancing various theories. First, it was lightning. Then updrafts.
    There is an airline to protect, and an aircraft industry.
    Can’t have structural weaknesses in the aircraft, and can’t have an airline target of a terrorist campaign.
    Oh what to do? A distraction is needed to take this event “off the radar screen”. Watch for it in the next few weeks.

    This disaster is looking more and more like Saracen terrorism.
