…The search has been financed jointly by Air France and Airbus. It involves dives to depths of up to 4,000m (13,120ft) with the use of special robots to examine the ocean floor between Brazil and West Africa.
…France’s Bureau of Investigations and Analysis (BEAR) said that plane parts of the plane had been located by the searchers, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
“These parts have been identified by BEA investigators as belonging to the wreck of the A330-203, Flight AF 447,” it added.
It is possible that they might locate the flight recorders, which, if they are still intact, will provide information on what happened to the flight.
