Prince Pedro Luis De Orleans E Braganca Travelling on Missing Air France Flight 447

UPDATE

It is being reported that in Argentina, the airport safety delayed an Air France flight on May 27th before departing for Paris immediately after the company received a bomb threat over the phone at the airport of Ezeiza. The plane was inspected and no bomb was found. Funny how this flew under the radar of the mainstream media. This is eerie, since not even a week later Flight 447 fell off the radar.

Prince Pedro Luis De Orleans E Braganca, 26, has been confirmed missing of Air France flight 447, which is believed to have gone down off the coast of Brazil. The prince is third in line to inherit the Brazilian throne and is 35th in line to inherit the French throne.

Pedro de Orleans e Braganca is a descendant of Peter II, the last Emperor of Brazil, who was overthrown in 1889 prior to the proclamation of the Republic. The Brazilian imperial family was founded in 1822, when Prince Peter, next-in-line to the Portuguese throne, was serving as the Portuguese king's representative in the Brazilian colony. Peter declared himself emperor of Brazil, followed by the Brazilian declaration of independence in 1825 which was recognized by his father, the Portuguese king. Source: Hindustan Times

Four hours into the flight, the pilot reported thunder storms and turbulence - and some reports are indicating the plane may have been stuck by a lightning bolt, despite its build to deflect such an event. The latest news reports have said that debris have been spotted, including plane seats, along the path the missing plane was flying. The possible wreckage was found about 400 miles north of Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. The authorities have not officially said that debris was in fact from the missing flight.
