Air France Flight & Shoddy Journalism
June 5, 2009 | Baltimore, Maryland | Vetting explained
I'm a little confused here. The missing Air France flight is still missing... right? It disappeared. The wreckage found in the ocean is apparently not wreckage but sea junk. Therefore no wreckage has been found. Therefore the flight is still missing. Yet, CNN says that "all 228 passengers and crew died when it went down on Monday..." How do we know they are dead? Is it possible that someone is floating in a life raft somewhere? Shouldn't the article say missing and presumed dead?
How is it-- in this age of geo-satellite tracking-- that a jet liner can just disappear? CNN has done a shoddy job reporting this stiory.
