• Resumen

  • Hambling reports how an invisible threat is making planes fall out of the sky. Shortly after leaving Rio de Janeiro on its way to Paris in 2009, Air France flight 447 flew over a band of thunderstorms. It was an unremarkable event that at first resulted only in light turbulence. But, as anyone familiar with the headlines knows, things got much worse. It ended in one of the deadliest air disasters in recent history, killing all 228 people on board. The wreckage took two years to retrieve from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
