Flight crew praised as all survive Air France crash
Olivier Dubos told CNN there was no advance warning of a problem before the plane burst into flames.
The crew appeared as surprised as any of the passengers, he said.
“We were really scared, actually, when we started to roll in the ravine,” Dubos said. “We could see some flames, and that was where we got really scared. We couldn’t do anything. We were sitting in our seats. We didn’t know if the plane would just blow up.”
He said the flight attendants responded “very efficiently” and pushed people to hit the slides “as fast as possible.”
“A minute before touching ground, there was no more lights in the plane,” he added. “The lights were totally cut off.”
shoes that are comfortable without being totally dumpy
We plan to do a lot of walking on our upcoming vacation. I’d like to find a walking shoe that’s sturdy enough for walking hilly paths in the north of Corsica and stylish enough so that I don’t feel frumpy as we walk around Paris. Anybody know where I can find my dream shoe? (P.S.: I have short feet – size 5 American – so I need to find a shoe company that provides a wide range of sizes.) Thanks for any help you can share with me.

salle d'eau versus salle de bains
I’ve never encountered the term "salle d’eau" before. How does this type of facility differ from a bathroom/salle de bains?
Lance Armstrong wins Tour de France for an unprecedented time 7th time.
Lance Armstrong closed out his amazing career with a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory Sunday — and did it a little
earlier than expected.
Because of wet conditions, race organizers stopped the clock as Armstrong and the main pack entered Paris. Although riders were still racing, with eight laps of the Champs-Elysees to complete, organizers said that Armstrong had officially won.
The stage started as it has done for the past six years — with Armstrong celebrating and wearing the race leader’s yellow jersey.
First time to France
Hi,
I am planning to go to France and the Beneluex countries in September. I have never been to France so I am unsure where to go. I plan to go to Paris, then take a night train to Nice, stay a few days then take the train to Bordeaux before going back to Paris and then on to Brussels. Can anyone tell me useful information about Nice and Bordeaux? Are they worth visiting or are there better places to go?
Thanks in advance
