For those interested in astrology this piece about the Air France crash from Kathryn Cassidy's July newsletter is interesting ;-

We've had a number of events occur since I last wrote. In my last mailing I did point you to my long article about the year-long Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron transit. You can access that from my articles section on my website. Since that was penned the Air France tragedy occurred. It is interesting to note that the aircraft came down right on the JU/NE/CH geodetic AstroCartoGraphy lines close to Brazil, and the whole incident has proved to be a huge mystery (JU/NE) – and a very painful one (CH) for the families.


It has always been my feeling that a massive (JUPITER) decompression (NEPTUNE) brought this plane down in midair. It has now been confirmed it did break up in midair but, whether this was from a bomb or from an explosion of some combustible material in the hold - we don't yet know and I very much doubt we ever will. The teams investigating the crash should be able to rule out a bomb pretty quickly as some of the wreckage would show signs of being ripped from the inside to the outside and show traces of explosive. Or, if it was a fire the wreckage would yield some traces of fire or smoke damage. That's my understanding from my years in the airlines, anyway. I'm still intrigued as to why things have gone so quiet.

I have to just make an observation about the 153 people who died when a Yemenian Airbus crashed yesterday. Have you noticed we are hardly hearing anything about it. Are these lives in some way less precious?

No air-traffic controllers seem to have been monitoring the flight when it went down, investigations have found. It would normally have been "handed over" from controllers in South America to others in Africa while flying over the Atlantic, but that did not happen, Bouillard said.

"We want to know why there was no concern in Dakar (in Senegal, west Africa) when this plane was not handed over," he said.

That part is interesting..

The plane was unable to fly on autopilot at the time of the crash, he added.

That was because the autopilot was not receiving speed, wind or direction information, he said.

"These tell us that the plane has to be, in this case, directed by the pilot," he said. He did not immediately say if the pilots were in control of Air France 447.

An interesting version of a French shrug
