Thumbs down French Plane Vanishes near Brazil

Hope they turn up all ok, and that it is a 'blip' in the system.

French plane 'missing off Brazil'

An Air France aircraft carrying 215 people has disappeared off the radar in the Atlantic Ocean off Brazil, according to reports.
A source at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport said contact was lost with the flight from Rio de Janeiro at 0600 GMT.
More to follow.

If it doesn't have a transponder problem (which they say is very rare) then what's the alternate? Surely you'd know if it had crashed. So ... alien abduction? Bermuda Triangle?

Oh, no... I hate systematic failure like this... It's already Monday, 1 June
12:15 p.m. in France, right? and it was supposed to arrive an hour ago. I hope we heard some news update soon.

But bermuda Triangle is far from the route the flight must have taken from Rio... Unless the went up north first

Don't know if this map has something to do here, but it shows some plane routes...


it shows a route between Paris and BSAS (wich is not far from Rio), so it might not be the triangle...

But, sure, you could have said that joking ...

Well, yes, there was that. Nice of you to go to all that trouble to prove me wrong, though.
