Air France Jet May Have Fallen Into Ocean

By Jeralyn

The missing Air France Jet with 216 people aboard may have fallen into the ocean. But, nobody knows for sure. It is still missing.

Douglas Ferreira, head of the investigation division of Brazil's Civil Aeronautics Agency, warned reporters that the search could take a long time because it was taking place in a vast stretch of open sea.

"We can fear the worst," said Jean-Louis Borloo, the French minister of ecology, who was overseeing rescue efforts from the Paris end.

Terrorism is not suspected. It was an accident of some kind, probably related to a lightning and thunderstorm. But, as of now, the French Government says it has "no news."
