Officials investigate Argentina bomb threat as pilot claims Air France Flight 447 was blown out of the sky by terrorists 03 Jun 2009 Investigators are examining a bomb threat called in on a flight from Buenos Aires to Paris just days before Flight 447 disappeared over the Atlantic ocean, it has been revealed. Aviation authorities are examining the possibility of a link between the threat to the Buenos Aires flight and the mysterious disappearance of Flight 447 with 228 people on board, a source has claimed. Meanwhile an Air France pilot said it was 'highly likely' the jet was blown out of the sky by a bomb.' Speaking under condition of anonymity to Le Figaro newspaper the pilot said: 'It is highly likely a bomb went off on board. I have flown these jets for Air France for more than ten years, and the chances of an electrical fault seem unfeasible to me.'
