More Bodies Found on Air France Flight

By: Peter Fribert

More sad news about the Air France flight as more and more bodies are now being found along with debris of the plane.

Three more bodies were found Sunday from the crash of an Air France plane off the coast of Brazil nearly a week ago, according to Brazilian officials said. More bodies could be seen and could be recovered within hours, they added. The bodies recovered are being confirmed as passengers on board the Air France flight 447. Bodies and debris from the aircraft will be taken to the coastal city of Recife for formal identification and forensic examination. The total number of bodies now recovered from the Air France crash is now at 5.

The United States Navy is offering high tech devices to help search for the plane's emergency beacon that can help determine the location of more parts of the plane, possibly the blackbox. These devices can pick up beacons at a maximum depth of 20,000 feet.
