Rio de Janeiro, June 2 (DPA) A pilot from Brazil’s airline TAM possibly spotted a burning piece of wreckage on the Atlantic Ocean while he was crossing the Atlantic early Monday morning.
The Brazilian Air Force confirmed late Monday that the pilot saw ‘orange-coloured spots’ in the middle of the Atlantic. The observation could have approximately corresponded to the time Air France 447 disappeared from radar
It’s far too difficult to put this into writing. One of my best colleague, a dutch, was one of the victims. The last time we had been in contact was in mid of May before he had his summer vacation in Brazil.
His mail box auto-reply is still not reset and is still showing he will be away until end of May.
Until everything is confirmed, I still think his status as LOST. May GOD bless him. … lotfi_hashim@yahoo.com
