Beautiful nose shots of Kilimanjaro, T Azahan!

In theory, a free fall would cause a state of 0G, or something like without gravity. However, if Flight 447 had fell from the sky, it wouldn't have been a free fall, due to the wind resistance factor, as free falling means falling only due to the gravitational force. Therefore, yes, the passengers would have likely experienced some G force.

Had some nice, strong light today, giving good contrast. Lion Air 747-400 without engines 1 and 4 9M-MKC JA623J Silver Bullet

Yes I remember the episode on Bristow flight 56C. The tail rotor was struck by lightning and severely damaged. On that particular helicopter, the rotor was made of a carbon composite material without getting approval beforehand. Previously, it was made of glass fibre. And the last part they said something like an aircraft made of composite materials like the A380 and 787 may be more prone to lightning strikes.

Yes, flight deck crew of a TAM airlines flight from Europe to Brazil saw orange spots over the Atlantic. Hope it's AF447. It's also mentioned that it had an electrical failure relay message automatically sent to traffic controllers, and if it had, that would have been almost certainly that it crashed, due to the fly-by-wire control systems (I think there were hydraulic failures too). Coupled with terrible flying conditions (weather), that would be a disaster.

I'm hoping for a miracle, but that's unlikely. The plane would have already run out of fuel if it stayed airborne. This is really saddening, especially when you watch the whole thing unfold before you. I wonder how are they going to retrieve the black boxes since it'll be right at the bottom of the ocean if it did crash.
