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.
French magistrates are investigating Air France and Airbus for alleged
manslaughter in connection with the crash, notably because of the
malfunctioning speed sensors, known as Pitots.
The airline replaced the Pitots, manufactured by French company Thales, on its
Airbus planes with a newer model after the crash.
Victims’ families have previously alleged that the involvement of big French
corporations such as Airbus and Air France was influencing the affair.
