Proper Analysis of Plane Debris-- What a Concept!
Heh:
The French government expressed deep disappointment Friday over the news that ocean debris recovered by the Brazilian military this week appeared to be the remains of a shipwreck and not from an Air France jet that crashed in the South Atlantic on Monday.Here's another amazing concept (from the same article):
In radio interviews, the transportation minister, Dominique Bussereau, urged “extreme prudence” about judging the source of any debris that is recovered until it could be properly analyzed.
A plane that flies too slow can lose lift and crash; too fast and it can break up in the air.

Forget the debris.
Just check the “Quick Reference Handbook” when you go into a spin. These NYT’s people write for double digits, which is correct. They should avoid technical matters.
Long before a plane "loses lift" from slow flight, an audible stall warning is screaming at the drivers. Modern planes are designed to avoid going into a conventional spin, but nose downward (except for a flat spin, e.g. "Top Gun").
A plane does not "break up" but can lose flight integrity from damage to a critical flight control surface from extreme turbulence. Can then go into a more or less free fall and speed is dictated by gravitational forces and drag, but moot
former boeing design engineer joe keith said that a large airliner travelling too fast at a low altitude would "shake itself apart".
Its amazing and interesting article on the flight. Keep rocking.Mexican Pharmacies
