This is a fascinating story that I had never heard of before tonight. This event took place in May of 2003 and I don't remember hearing a word about it on the news at that time. Does anyone ? Btw the very last line of this article will make you want to scream. It did me...."It is the largest aircraft ever to have disappeared without a trace." I wouldn't say that would you coto? I recall a few other AA planes that seemed to have just vanished into thin air. In fact, it seems to have become a habit.~jg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seven years after her brother disappeared from Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport in Angola, Benita Padilla-Kirkland is trying to persuade the FBI to re-open his case. She believes she has the “new information” agents told her they require. But she suspects that the agency already has more information than agents will admit to.
