Air France and Airbus acquitted of criminal liability in 2009 Rio-Paris crash.

Air France and Airbus have been cleared of charges of involuntary manslaughter over the 2009 Rio-Paris crash that killed all 228 people on board. The court said that even if errors had been committed, a causal link between them and the crash could not be proved. Families of the victims reacted angrily to the acquittal, with one saying "our lost ones have died a second time". The companies had always denied the charges, for which they were facing a maximum fine of €225,000.
