Search of Air France plane crashNearly 228 passengers and crew were aboard the Air France airliner when it disappeared over the Atlantic on June 1.The crash was the airline industry's deadliest in years, and the worst in Air France’s history.As search crews continued to look for more bodies and wreckage from last week’s Air France plane crash,the French carrier has decided to immediately replace suspect speed sensors with new ones on all its long-haul Airbus carriers.The speed sensors are suspected in playing a part in last week's air crash over the Atlantic Ocean.An investigation into the incident has found the devices appeared to have provided inconsistent data to the pilots.One French pilots union，ALER, has urged its pilots not to fly the Airbus planes in question until these sensors are replaced.But on June 9，the main French pilots union SPNL announced Air France had agreed to immediately equip all of its Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft with new speed sensors.SPNL spokesman Eric Derivry told French media that Air France was replacing the sensors as of Tuesday, and that all the long-haul craft would have at least two of the new devices.
