PARIS: The Air France
flight that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean killing all 228 people on board plunged from the
sky so suddenly that passengers and crew on board did not even have time to inflate their
life jackets. Investigators said the Airbus "descended vertically" and dropped 35,000ft in a
matter of seconds, hitting the water in its exact flying position. The details of the last
moments of Flight AF 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1 were disclosed in an
official report into the disaster released in the French capital. Everybody aboard was killed,
including five Britons, but nobody had the time to follow the most basic safety procedures,
even failing to secure seat belts in many cases. The report also found that the plane had not
broken up in mid-air, as had initially been thought.
