Air France and Airbus Acquitted over 2009 Plane Crash

Air France and Airbus have been found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the 2009 plane crash that killed 228 people, Sky News reports.

A French court could not find sufficient evidence of a direct connection between the companies’ decisions and the crash.

In June 2009, Flight 447 took off from Rio de Janeiro towards Paris, but crashed during a thunderstorm into the Atlantic Ocean.
