Introduction
On June 1, 2009 Flight AF447 of the French airline AIR France between Rio de Janeiro and Paris was damaged in the Atlantic Ocean.
It was carrying 228 people (including 216 passengers) while no sign of survival has been revealed until today.
The final report of the BEA (Bureau of Investigation and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety) published on July 5, 2012 after the recovery and analysis of the recorders concluded that the main cause of the accident would be a stall at high altitude following a loss of speed indications by icing of the Pitot probes, having induced an inappropriate reaction by the pilots.
