another news site says that officials have lost hope now- very sad, thankfully it is very rare.

[FabulousBakerGirl]

No consolation if your relative/friend is on the plane but I do know what you mean.

Scary

[mamadiva]

Horrible for those involved on and off the flight, one of my worst fears!

I hope that by some strange twist of fate everything is well but I do doubt that is going to happen now .

Discussing it on BBC1 now

8 children on board, including a baby.

I find this really upsetting. I'm not sure why - I think it's the uncertainty of it. With a plane crash in the mountains or whatever it's horrible and frightening but in this instance the silence and not knowing is too disturbing for words.

[FabulousBakerGirl]

That's my thoughts too OhBling.

Still nothing further.

Gordon Brown thinks there may be Britons on board.

They have a large search area to cover.

Those poor poor people on that plane.

[Geocentric]

Been all over the news here in Brazil since the morning. It doesn't sound at all hopeful, plus there's a chance they may never find the plane, it's a huge area.

[mamadiva]

It has been confirmed that the debris found was from the flight.

Really is a tragic story, famillies must be distraught but maybe it will go to some consolation now they know something of what happened but I doubt the bodies will ever be recovered.

Must have been terrifying!

[Paranoid1stTimer]

This just makes me so sad. I really feel awful for the people who were on that plane and their families and relatives. They need to make a huge effort to find the plane so people can get some closure.
