Air France Accidents Show Remarkable Survival Rates
"Air France, now the world's largest airline and long among its most glamorous, has suffered its share of serious crashes in the past 20 years, including the spectacular and tragic crash of a supersonic Concorde and several serious landing accidents, such as the one at Toronto's Pearson Airport two weeks ago.
However, nothing emerges from a review of the seven major Air France accidents since 1985 to indicate any systematic deficiency or pattern of training, maintenance or procedural failures by the airline."
The Hero Of Air France Flight 358
As terrified passengers fled the burning Air France jet, Guy Ledez stood atop a muddy ravine, pulling survivors from the wreckage.
He then ran on board the burning wreckage of Flight 358 to make sure no one was left behind. The 37-year-old airport rental car manager says he didn't have time to stop and think of danger when he witnessed the crash on a routine Tuesday afternoon.
