Air France received a bomb threat four days before Flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil, it emerged yesterday.
Aviation experts said the vast area over which debris has been found suggested there was an in-flight explosion
An unidentified senior long-haul Air France pilot told a French newspaper: 'I have flown these jets for Air France for more than ten years and the chances of an electrical fault seem unfeasible to me. There are five electricity supplies on the plane and they would all have to fail.' He said a bomb was the only logical reason for why the captain failed to send out a mayday
Authorities are at a complete loss to explain why the four-year-old Airbus disappeared 400 miles off Brazil without issuing a Mayday. |

But from the same article:

Aviation experts said the vast area over which debris has been found suggested there was an in-flight explosion, but that did not mean a bomb had to be the cause.
The explosion and resulting break-up could have resulted from a massive depressurisation inside the plane for another reason. If this happened at high altitude, the passengers would have fallen instantly unconscious and may have been oblivious to their fate. |
Let's wait for the experts to review the evidence. |

I think it was a bomb.
There was no communication prior to the loss. Similar to the Air India disaster off of Canada. The plane went down between two storms so bad weather really wasn't a factor. |
