Someone asked which passengers were British. Here are two of the five British passengers:
Arthur Coakley, 61; British, Structural Engineer for PDMS
Alexander Bjoroy, 11
I am sure that the two British passengers with the same names as those on France’s top terrorist list will not be published until the black boxes are discovered and the terror link resolved. Even then, they may not want those terrorists to know they have their names.
Please let me know if there is a pasenger from spain.

Dearest friends and family members of the passengers of flight AF 447, and to all readers of this site.
Let us take a moment to remember those who had passed away in this tragic accident, for the human beings that they are and not as a number or statistic. Let us remember them for the great influence that they had on peoples lives. For all of those who they had touched and brought smiles to their faces. We shall look forward to seeing them another day, for they have defied gravity and are now soaring, guardians of the skies, keepers of heaven,s gates… Please lead us to the path of grace for we shall one day join you.
Flight 447 will fly forever…
We will remember them
Erich Heine was a South African by birth working for a German company ………. Our prayers are with his family and all who dies on this flight …. RIP.
Tears as I write this from Zambia. Am deeply affected by this tragedy. Many children have been left orphans. May jehova be with each and every family that has lost a beloved one. Prayers to them all as we look to our creator for answers.
Please supply me with any family that I may write to them and comfort them at this difficult time.
I may not know anyone from the plane. But I feel like I have lost someone so close to me. All the hopes and plans gone…… in just a day. May the families of the pilots, crew members and each and every passenger on the plane rest in peace. My prayer today is that each and every body may be found so that our beloved sisters and brothers may be given a proper burrial. Our hearts and souls still remembers them.
When will you post the remainder of the passenger list?
I hope to have the list completed by this weekend.
I used to work for Air France as Ground Hostess till the flights to my city suspended. It’s been 14 years now, however when I learnt about the crash, I felt like part of me affected somehow.
RIP! I didn’t know any one, but this tragedy really touched my heart. I hope the investigation will find the answers to this horrible accident. My deepest sympathy to the relatives and friends of the lost loved ones!
I have no, zero, connection to flight447, but for some reason I can not help but check everywhere for any type of update on the recovery. My heart has truly gone out to all those who had family, friends, business partners, or simply acquaintances on flight447. We may never know what happened, which bothers me personally, but I am keeping those affected in my prayers and in my thoughts.
So this may have already been discussed, but I’m a bit bothered by the “facts”, (which are few) that I am reading. Has anyone else thought of the strange double “talk” of what may have happened to flight 447? In some of the reports the public hears that the plane “broke up in mid air” and then we hear the same because of the debris that had been found in the early weeks and then the bodies that have been autopsied so far have supposedly indicated the same, yet on the other hand the public is hearing that the debris that has been found now indicates that the plane plunged into the ocean. What about the discrepancies in the autopsies, that some of the examiners didn’t agree or that there was some type of disagreement over the findings. Is it possible, that flight447 do to high speeds (from the tubes or some other malfunctions) and storms, which I’m sure were quite bad, lost the stabilizer, which rendered the plane almost useless, and tore some or a majority of the plane apart in the air and then the rest of the plane, the part that was not torn apart in the air plunged into the ocean? Is it just me or am I the only person thinking this could have happened?
2 other names need to be added to this list
Andrey Kiselev, 46 - Russian from Korolev http://www.metronews.ru/news1/v_krushenii_samoleta_obvinili_turbulentnost/

I have received many calls asking me if I m still alive and didn t take this plane ( I take TAM from Salvador de Bahia to Paris or Arkefly from Natal to Amsterdam ).Now that I know that all oversudden this turbulences are for real, I will take my next flight with an enormous amount of fear because I always feel the turbulences a lot and suffer from nervous anxiousness.
Blessings to the lost onces and their friends and families.
Petra Brunhilde Bour, Trancoso, Brasil
Joseph “Jojo” Owondo was a great guy. Although I hadn’t seen him in a few year, I always remembered what he used to tell me about my love of computers. He would always tell my mother that I was good with computers and that I would get a good job one day working with them.
He would also ask me to build him a website, and right after I created this site, I found that he was on the plane..how sad.
Everyone misses him. What a wonderful guy.
To the family members of AF 447 passengers, I feel your loss and feel so sad. Never easy losing your loved ones. I have lost my loved ones and pray that your days will be comforted, you have more strength with each day.

The young German fashion designer’s name was MATTHIAS PETER. He was a sensitive, creative and caring human being who was so in love with Rio de Janeiro that he bought an apartment of his own to enable him to live half the year in Rio and half the year in his native Stuttgart.
Matthias shared a meal with the other guests at Ananab Guesthouse and with the hosts, Roberto and Dirk, on that fateful Sunday 31 May and then said ’so long’ to all his friends in Rio, old and new. He told them he couldn’t wait to be back in Rio in December for the New Year’s Day festivities in Rio.
Matthias was really looking forward to spending the New Year’s Eve in Rio in six months’ time. Well, he would… because New Year’s Eve in Rio de Janeiro is a truly unforgettable and COMMUNAL experience.
We all dress in white, walk to the beach and throw flower offerings to the African goddess of the ocean, Yemanja. It’s a beautiful sight - thousands of people - rich and poor - dressed in white, gently placing flowers in the ocean whilst looking at a sky lit with magnificent fireworks.
New Year’s Eve in Rio is a truly EGALITARIAN experience, as I mentioned above: it must be the only evening in the entire year when it is 100% safe to stroll along Copacabana beach past midnight because everyone, rich and poor, is too busy communing and celebrating to contemplate mugging your own kind.
So,Matthias Peter, RIP, I will throw some ‘lirios’ to Iemanja on your behalf, come 31 December. You will always be remembered at the Ananab Guesthouse, by the street vendors you used to chat with
everywhere you went in Laranjeiras and by everyone fortunate enough to have come into contact with you in your yearly sojourns in Rio de Janeiro.
May the Maker keep you in a very special place next to him.

Reading the names brings it all very close to the heart. News is numbers but this is reality.
I returned from Rio with Air France 2 weeks before this tradegy, after our honeymoon around Brazil. We were delayed for 50 hours with AF after the plance had to abort on take off due to a front wheel suspension failure. Although terrifing, it could have been so very different on that day and thus what took place 2 weeks later has affected me deeply. My thoughts are with all those people who lost their lives in such wasteful circumstances and the families who search for answers everyday.

Any flickr-photo-album/audio/video of them ?
Where is the promised flight manifest? Today is 16th September 2009. A lot of people are waiting for it to appear here.
A specific movie, or TV documentary should be made in memory of all the people sacrificed in this crash.
Also I remember that the Canadian Bombardier Company who is responsible for the recent U.S. Buffalo Crash & previous Chinese BAOTOU Crash has not aired the REAL CAUSE of the mechanic failure of the latter one till now. Are there something to hide from the people?
Erich Heine - Father of 3 gorgeous little girls, husband to a wonderful woman Alet and my best friend & hero in life and my brother. It is more than 3 months already and I miss you more and more each day Boet. Why did you have to be taken so soon, I keep asking myself. Instead of the pain fading, it’s just gets more intense as time passes, knowing that you and I will NEVER share another beer, laugh at another joke together and have the pleasure of each others company ever again.
You were my driving force and guiding light and now you gone - I really miss you man. I really do, more than words can ever describe…

I knew Christophe Paus. He was a neuro surgeon in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was a great man. Although he was so young but he was one of the chief surgeons of the clinic. Brilliant.
He saved the life of my wife before his death… I am indebted to his kind helps.
May God have mercy upon his soul.
Have just found out via facebook that someone I knew years ago ,Stefan Bagus from Germnay, was on flight 447 - very sad day..
