Something to Think About As You Get On That Flight For the Fourth Weekend

Air France Flight 447 plunged vertically into the Atlantic Ocean intact at a very high speed...The plane seems to have hit the surface of the water on its flight trajectory with a strong vertical acceleration...life vests found among the wreckage were not inflated, suggesting the passengers were not prepared for a crash landing in the water

So basically the plane just fell like a brick out of the sky.
