The TSB has released an update to the Air France investigation. Some of the new findings that were presented in the report are:
– A lightning strike damaged the wind direction and speed recording system for runway 24L (the one air france was to land on)
– Wind shifted at the moment of touchdown causing a tailwind for the landing aircraft
– The heavy rains diluted the foam the fire fighters were using to put out the flames.
