From a Google Translation of the official Air France press release:
The aircraft went through a thunderstorm with strong turbulence at 2 am (universal time) or 4:00 GMT. An automated message was received at 2:14 (4:14 GMT) indicating a failure of electrical system in a remote area of the coast.

I think,it’s about time for the faa and all aviation admin to reconsidere the onboard activities recording scheme with a new aproach.Instal a live video camera in the cockpit .That way the flight operation center will be able to monitor the flght crew,not to keep an boss eye on them but to have a glance of what is going on in there.
