That is good but I am sure that them planes have technology to enable them to fly without visibility.

Indeed they do - the plane got on the ground ok, so this sounds much more like a weather related crash than anything else, which is often a problem in North America, where you get some serious weather.
Another thing modern planes are good for is crash survivability, of course, and from what I've seen on
www.airdisaster.com (popups galore unfortunately) it seems the plane stayed intact and the fire was limited. Lucky, that.
It's the first A340 to crash, barring a fire on another Air France one in a hangar.
