Overall what we know for sure is weather was a factor and the flight definitely crossed through a thunderstorm complex. There is a definite correlation of weather with the crash. However the analysis indicates that the weather is not anything particularly exceptional in terms of instability or storm structure. It's my opinion that tropical storm complexes identical to this one have probably been crossed hundreds of times over the years by other flights without serious incident. Still, in the main MCS alone, the A330 would have been flying through significant turbulence and thunderstorm activity for about 75 miles (125 km), lasting about 12 minutes of flight time. Of course anything so far is speculation until more evidence comes in, and for all we know the cause of the downing could have been anything from turbulence to coincidental problems like a cargo fire. My own opinion of the crash cause, as of Monday night, based on the complete lack of a HF radio call and consideration of all of the above, suggests severe turbulence (see the BOAC 911 and BNF 250 tragedies) combining in some unlikely way with CRM/design/maintenance/procedural/other deficiencies to trigger a failure cascade. We can almost certainly count on some unexpected surprises once the CVR is recovered. Until then, all we can do is await the investigation and hope that the world's flight operations stay safe until AFR447's lessons are revealed.

Maybe it would be best to "hold fire" with the giant u.f.o and n.w.o stuff, till more information becomes available.
Maybe the aircrafts fuel tank exploded due to an electrical short circuit, This has been documented the past with jet-liners.

The A being a pyramid with a capstone and 33 being an important number in freemasonry, and is also a multiplication of 11...
May the victims rest in peace, and I wish all the best to the loved ones they've left behind.

Calls made via the pico cell will be routed to terrestrial networks via satellite link. Air France is believed to be ready to deploy the technology while Ryanair is expected to submit an application.

Do a domain search, domain belongs to some Malibu address in the US. www.whois.net... However, Air France decided to change name for Rio de Janeiro to Paris flight from AF447 to AF445, thats weird.

You are correct, there were quite a large number of top-level corporate executives on board.
