摘要

Air France Flight 447 crash killed 228 people on 1 June 2009. Its cause was not well explained. This letter proposes a hypothesis based on the earthquake vapour theory to explain the sudden disappearance of airplanes. Earthquake data reveal a high coincidence between the crash location and the mid-Atlantic faults. Further, satellite images show that erupting earthquake vapours appeared around the crash location before the crash time, became bigger and higher, and finally disappeared after the crash. Temperature data depict that the vapours were accompanied by enormous heat around the crash time and location. A strong, variable thermal current can create convections that cause the airbus to crash. We suggest that half-hourly satellite images and temperature data be made available to the public to facilitate predictions.
