Paris (CNN) -- Investigators trying to determine why an Air France plane crashed mysteriously two years ago have recovered the complete contents of the flight data recorder and the last two hours of cockpit conversation, they announced Monday.
It will take several weeks to analyze the data, French air accident experts said.
 
Wow, I learned two things:

1) We know now why the plane crashed . . . . apparently, it "belly flopped".

2) The plane "fell so fast, the oxygen masks didn't have time to deploy".

Man! That is fast! What is that, less than one-tenth of a second?

Idiots.

How did you determine that? They have not even analyzed the recorders yet! I think it is quite an accomplishment that those were found after all this time. If you know anything about accident investigations, they take time, because you take your time and analyze everything. Otherwise, you can just let the media do the investigation. I know it is fun to "arm chair quarterback", but it will be interesting to find out and learn from this accident.

Re-read my post. I was pointing out the ludicrous statements in the CNN article. . . . . although how you could miss that defies comprehension.

I love it when a nice sarcastic remark doesn't register on someone. Is failure to understand sarcasm an affliction, sorta like color-blindness?

I see a new SNL skit coming . . . along the lines of the "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer":

"Your honor, I don't understand your ways, your jokes, your humor. I'm just an unfrozen caveman pilot, who lacks the sarcasm-receptor gene . . . ". :laugh:

Right from the day of this crash I've wondered if the only thing they'll hear on the cockpit voice recorder (in the time period leading up to the aircraft entering the thunderstorm) is the sound of light snoring.
