When an airplane crash occurs, only time can help heal the pain
caused by the tragedy. Air crash victims' families and any survivors
can find solace in determining the reason for the plane crash.
They look for ways to prevent a similar air tragedy from happening
again. Identifying the truth and determining the responsibility
behind air crashes, and raising public awareness about aviation
safety issues, has been the driving force behind the aviation law
practice of The Wolk Law Firm for more than 35 years.

At 35,000 feet, the Airbus A330, the Air France 447 plane that crashed, is only about 25 knots between cruise speed and aerodynamic stall.
