Bodies in 2009 Air France crash found at sea

Air France flight 447, an Airbus 330-203 plane, plunged into the ocean en route from Rio to Paris, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board and a long search has so far failed to find flight recorders that could give clues to the cause of the accident.

The latest search, the fourth since the crash, is being carried out using a salvage vessel equipped with unmanned submarines.

The wreckage was found at depths of around 10,000 feet. Specialists could start pulling up bodies and wreckage within a month, French officials said.

France’s BEA accident investigation authority said on Sunday it had found a large part of the plane’s wreckage including the engine and parts of the fuselage, and Environment Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet said on Monday there were human remains inside.
