Air France pilots knew they were going to crash in 2009 flight

The pilots aboard the doomed Air France passenger jet that plunged into the Atlantic more than two years ago knew they were going to crash only seconds before they hit the water, according to transcripts of their exchanges recently published for the first time.

“We're going to crash,” says one co-pilot of Flight 447, which went down en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. “It's not true!” “But what's happening?” asks the second co-pilot.

Less than three seconds later, the recording stops as the plane crashes, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board.
