1. The Air France Airbus A330 with General Eletric’s engine is one of the most reliable airplanes. It has topnotch aviation technology. No communication AT ALL from the pilot and only two automatic messages from the plane – electrical failure and depressurization – could be the last two things the airplane computer detected before totally exploding.
2. The media and the French/Brazilian authorities are expeculating that the plane was hit by a lightning bolt. Have you ever heard about a plane that crash because a lighting bolt? And according to expert that plane is prepared for a lighting bolt discharge.
3. It is much more easy to pass through security with a bomb in Rio than in Paris.
4. Last month it was announced a new French military basis on UAE. Its new base will host up to 500 French troops and include a navy base, air base, and training camp. Really close to Iran. There’s a lot of extremists in UAE that could potencially finance terrorism.
5. The Tri-Border ( Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil) is a place that extremists could be easily hiding theirselves from interpol and worldwide authorities. That region is very easy to cross from one country to another. Big diverse communities there – if you walk on the streets there you will notice business are conducted in Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese or Arab. A big black market for electronics and imported goods from China. There’s a perfect combination there for illegal activities.
6. A Brazil’s military blog dennounces that high intelligence official mentioned that a high al-qaeda member terrorist was arrested in São Paulo.
