Air France crash. Who's to blame?

Summary

1 August 2011

France's flight accident investigation bureau has indicated that pilot error may have played a part in the crash of an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris two years ago. The Airbus A330 fell more than 35,000 feet into the Atlantic ocean, killing all 228 on board.

フランスの航空事故調査局がパイロットの誤操作が2年前のリオデジャネイロ発パリ行きのエアフランスのフライト墜落をもたらした一つの要因だったかもしれないと報告していた。 エアバスA330は3万5千フィート降下して大西洋に突っ込み、乗っていた228人全員が死亡した。
