Air France, Airbus Reject Blame in AF447 Crash Trial

Imagine a plane crashed into the ocean, killing everyone on board.

This happened to Air France flight AF447.

A new trial has begun in France to re-examine the crash.

The previous trial cleared Airbus and Air France, but now prosecutors want to establish if anyone was criminally responsible.

The plane’s speed sensors may have malfunctioned, and the pilots may have made mistakes.

The new trial will involve expert evidence and aims to determine if the companies should be held accountable.
