Investigators probe Air France crash site

French investigators are now probing problems encountered by an Air France jet last month in nearly the same spot over the Atlantic where another jet mysteriously crashed in June.
Air France flight 445 was flying from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France, the night of November 29 when it encountered the problems.
It’s the same route reportedly taken by Air France flight 447 when it went down in the Atlantic Ocean in stormy weather on June one, killing all 228 people on board.
The French accident investigation agency is yet to establish the cause of the crash, and large parts of the plane, including both flight recorders, have never been found.
Officials believe the analysis of the second crash could lead to explanations about the latest incident.
