Divers Find Air France Crash Bodies

It’s almost two years since an Air France passenger plane crashed into the Atlantic, killing all 228 on board.

Now, the French government says divers have found bodies inside what appears to be a large portion of the wreck off the coast of Brazil.

[Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, French Environment & Transport Minister]:

„We’ve found a large part of the aircraft surrounded by debris. It’s like a field. There’s debris and a large part of the plane. A part of it has remained a bit intact, in one piece.“

The government also says identification of the bodies may be possible.

A salvage vessel with unmanned submarines located pieces of the aircraft two days ago after starting the search last month.

Experts say they are likely remains from the missing Airbus A330 that crashed on June 1 on route from Brazil to Paris.

But searchers have not yet found the plane’s flight recorders, which could explain why it crashed during an equatorial storm.
