THE Air France Airbus that crashed into the Atlantic killing 228 people plunged vertically into the ocean intact and at high speed, investigators said.
Alain Bouillard, leading the investigation into the crash on June 1 said the plane's speed sensors, called Pitot tubes, were not the direct cause of the crash but a factor in it. He said: "Today we are very far from establishing the causes of the accident."
The Airbus A330-200 flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris went down in a remote area of the Atlantic, 930 miles off Brazil's mainland.
