It would have run out of fuel by now, so it can only be assumed that the plane went down somewhere over the Atlantic. No news of where or when - assuming it went down somewhere in the Atlantic it could take a very long search to find the plane, especially if there is no floating wreckage.
very sad - fingers crossed that there are survivors.

Very sad and distressing. Condoleances to those affected. -
"French President Nicolas Sarkozy told families of those aboard Monday that "prospects of finding survivors are very small."
The area where the plane could have gone down is vast, in the middle of very deep Atlantic Ocean waters between Brazil and the coast of Africa. Brazil's military searched for it off its northeast coast, while the French military scoured the ocean near the Cape Verde Islands off the West African coast."
