Probe into Air France Plane Hints at Breaking up in Air

Citing unidentifiable investigators, a French newspaper reports that the Air France plane that crashed on June 1 may have possibly broken up in the air, to a certain extent, before hitting the Atlantic Ocean.

The preliminary stage probe of the 16 bodies, most of which were found naked or with minimal clothing, indicate that the wind might have taken off their garments, O Estado de S Paulo, the newspaper said.

The possibility of an explosion or fire in the jet is also unlikely because the bodies showed no sign of burns, Estado said.

According to the paper, almost all of the bodies had multiple fractures. In addition, investigators haven’t found water in the victims’ lungs, which would indicate drowning, Estado said.

Bodies were found 85 kilometers (53 miles) apart, which may also indicate the Airbus A330-200 broke up before reaching the ocean, Estado reported.
