Dusseldorf- As the salvage operation continued in the mid- Atlantic, Germans remembered Saturday the victims of the Air France flight 447 crash at a national ecumenical service in the western city of Dusseldorf. The church service was attended by 115 friends and associates of the dead, as well as many other mourners including German Transport Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee. Of the 228 killed, 28 were German nationals. Nikolaus Schneider, head of the Rhineland Evangelical Church, and the auxiliary Catholic bishop of Cologne, Rainer Woelki, led the interdenominational service. The plane crashed June 1 on a flight from Brazil to France.

In 1969 my History teacher come to class and informed us as students : "No Jews die at WWII from Romania", the following week the same think she say.
Last year after 40 years I went to South Beach Miami Florida USA at the Holaocast Museum.
There is a map of europe with all countries and as I read instruction is say like this : "the numbers written on the map of the countries is the number of Jews killed at WWII".
I directed my eys to Romanian map and A number was written and as I aprouch I could see 342,000.
Our teache was saying white lies tought by Pigs nazi.
Myself I do not belive that existed a flight as such 447 from airfrance but if it existed Louis Pasteur Institute and Bayer will call 447 a BIG bacteria in the air.
