Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
A French appeals court has found Air France and Airbus guilty of manslaughter for the 2009 crash of Flight AF447, which killed all 228 people on board. The passenger jet, traveling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, stalled during a storm and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The court ruled the airline and aircraft manufacturer were "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster, overturning a previous acquittal.
