2009 Air France crash: French appeals trial nears verdict

An eight-week trial in Paris is concluding over the 2009 Air France crash that killed all 228 on board, as prosecutors urge the appeals court to overturn a lower court’s decision that cleared Air France and Airbus of corporate manslaughter. Investigators found that pilots mishandled a sensor icing issue, causing the A330 to stall and crash into the Atlantic during a tropical storm.
