Investigators revealed last year that Captain Marc Dubois was on a break as
his two less experienced co-pilots ignored and failed to discuss repeated
stall warnings during the three and a half minutes it took the Airbus A330
to plunge into the ocean.
All 228 people on board – including crew – died after the Airbus hurtled into
the Atlantic at a speed of 180 feet a second in the worst disaster in Air
France’s history.
Relatives of those who died were invited to BEA offices outside Paris where
they were informed of the report’s conclusions ahead of its public release.
Many of them were unhappy with what they learned.
“I get the impression that they’re always talking about human error which I
don’t believe in at all,” said Keiko Marinho, who heads a Brazilian victims’
relatives association and lost a sister in the accident.
