The massive blaze continues to rage as over 120 firefighting and rescue teams attempt to contain the spreading fire.

35 (unrevealed) proposals suggested by the eight member panel of aviation experts will be implemented rapidly, in the wake of the crash of Air France 447.
Findings on that crash hinge on the lost black box and wreckage; a fourth search effort is beginning this year, funded by Air France and Airbus, and if anything is found, the recovery will be government funded.
The failure is blamed on faulty readings from the plane’s pitot tubes (speed sensors) after they iced over and fly by wire systems consequently failed.
