"On the photographs published in recent days, where we can see debris from the plane floating in the water and a restroom door, there were also no signs of fire," he added.
SHOOT: Another explanation is the plane suffered a power failure. If this occurred the crew would not have known where to stand or sit, and the passengers would not have been informed to buckle up. Since the crash happened in the very early hours of the morning, it's also possible that someone was sleeping behind the wheel. At least, intially perhaps.
Almost two weeks after the Rio-Paris flight disappeared at sea, former pilot Ari Germano told O Globo newspaper that he was "struck" by at least one of the photographs released on Friday by the Brazilian Air Force.
According to Germano, who has written a book about air crashes, the images suggested that the Airbus A330 passengers were caught by surprise and the tragedy unfolded so rapidly that the crew did not have the time to react.
In the photographs, the seats in the crew area were folded with the seatbelts hanging down, which "suggests that the crew was moving about the passenger cabin".
"If there had been an alert or a warning about a pending risk, the crew would have been seated," he said.
"They did not have the time to do anything," added the former pilot, who also recognised an orange first aid kit that was left intact.
