An Air France Airbus 330-200 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, disappeared over the Atlantic at 3.14am BST this morning. Experts say it has most certainly crashed with 228 passengers and crew aboard.
The pilot had apparently reported an electrical short circuit after flying through a storm. It is thought that the plane may have been hit by lightening.
A search is underway around the island of Narando Noronha which is 1500 miles from Rio de Janeiro. Air France has said that it is extremely unlikely that any survivors will be found.
So far no wreckage has been found but aviation experts say that the plane would have run out of fuel by now so it cannot be lost in the air.
