Air France and Airbus go on trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter over the fatal 2009 crash of a jet heading to Paris from Brazil, killing all 228 people aboard.

Some aviation experts say the pilots were insufficiently trained to handle a loss of speed readings which led to their plunging into the Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of June 1, 2009.
