homework - current events, missing plane

Read the info. Answer the questions.

"Terrible" weather conditions are making it hard to find the Air France plane lost over the Atlantic on Monday.

Ships and planes from many nations are continuing to search the sea. 

The Air France plane was heading from Brazil to Paris when it disappeared.

The cause of the crash is still a mystery. So far there is still no clue to of the cause of the incident. The French say that terrorism might be a possibility but they don't know yet.

France believes there is little or no hope of finding survivors from among the 228 passengers and crew aboard the flight.

Questions:
1) Why is it hard to find the plane?
2) Where was the plane heading when it crashed?
3) How many people were on the plane?
4) When did the plane go missing?
