Recordings Recovered From Crashed Air France Jet

Investigation among most complex and expensive in history

(AP) - French investigators have recovered all the flight data and cockpit voice recordings from the recorders of an Air France jet found in the Atlantic nearly two years after it crashed, they said today. The recorders were located by underwater robots and hoisted from depths of some 13,000 feet earlier this month , in one of the most expensive and complicated air crash investigations in history. Investigators and victims' families are hoping the recorders will shed light on what sent Flight 447 into the sea on June 1, 2009, as it traveled from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. More»

Body Recovered From 2009 Air France Crash

But it may not be possible to recover all the bodies found

(NEWSER) - Following the recovery of the black box and cockpit recorder from the 2009 Air France crash, officials have pulled a passenger's body from the ocean. The French Gendarmerie says the remains, which were still attached to a plane seat, were pulled up this morning. The first search effort after the doomed flight led to 50 bodies being recovered; all 228 people aboard the plane were killed. Recovering the latest body involved great technical difficulties, however, meaning it may not be possible to recover all the bodies found in the latest search, the AP notes.

Air France Recorder Pulled From Atlantic

Investigators hope for clues in 2009 plane crash

(NEWSER) - On the heels of recovering the black box from the doomed Air France flight that fell out of the sky off the Brazilian coast nearly two years ago, French investigators have pulled the cockpit recorder from the depths of the Atlantic, reports the AP. It's not yet certain whether the recorder has held up to the ocean pressure that comes with a resting place 12,800 feet below sea level. But investigators have said they have no shot of determining the cause of the crash without the devices. "It is my heartfelt hope that the data contained in these flight recorders may be used and provide answers," said Air France's CEO in a statement. Click for more on the lost Air France plane. More»

Wreckage Found From 2009 Air France Crash

It could shed light on what brought down jet, killing 228

(NEWSER) - Investigators might finally get a better idea of why an Air France flight crashed into the Atlantic nearly two years ago and killed all 228 aboard. A fourth deep-sea search led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has yielded plane parts believed to be from the Airbus 330, reports the BBC . It's not clear yet whether that includes the black boxes, however. Flight 447 crashed in a storm en route from Brazil to Paris on June 1, 2009. Click for more background. More»

France to Hunt Again for Vanished Rio-Paris Flight

Fourth search for Flight 447's black boxes to begin in February

(AP) - The French government will conduct a fourth search for the flight recorders of the Air France jetliner that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris 18 months ago, it announced today. The initial search for Flight 447 found 50 bodies and hundreds of pieces of the plane, including its torn-off tail. But the latest search, a $13 million third effort, ended in May and did not find the "black box" voice and data recorders at the crash site, where the ocean is as deep as 13,120 feet. The fourth search will begin in February. More»
