This one is long, and very tragic, but so awfully fascinating that you will read to the end with your breath held. It's about the crash of Air France Flight 447, which fell out of the sky into the Atlantic two years ago. No one knew why. The cause remained a mystery and a speculation.

Jeff Wise of Popular Mechanics writes about it absolutely brilliantly here. It's really worth ten minutes of your day.
It's too awful to give you a photograph of the wreckage, so here is a happier snap by Robert Doisneau:
