SAO PAULO, Brazil - Air France has lost contact with a plane carrying 228 people from Brazil to Paris, an official said Monday.

"Air France regrets to announce that it is without news from Air France flight 447 flying from Rio to Paris, spokeswoman Brigitte Barrand said.

She said the flight was carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew members.

Brazil's air force said a search began Monday morning near the Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.

The plane disappeared about 186 miles (300 kilometers) northeast of the coastal Brazilian city of Natal and near Fernando de Noronha, the spokesman said.

He spoke on condition of anonymity, in keeping with Air Force policy.

Barrand said "Air France shares the emotion and worry of the families concerned."

She said the airline has installed an information center at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport for the families of those aboard.

The flight was scheduled to arrive in Paris at 0915 GMT (5:15 a.m. EDT), according to the airport.

Will be found in 2-3 days some-where on the bottom of the ocean.

With all 216 bodies and the 12 crew members dead?
It's fake. It will be planted so that no one can find the real plane.

I vote for aliens. They finally got here from Alpha Centauri and thought stealing an A330 would grab our attention.

EDIT: Just saw on the news that the plane has crashed and may have been hit by lightning.
