A search team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI, USA) has located the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 some 3,900 meters, or nearly 2.5 miles, below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean off BrazilÂ’s northeastern coast.
The BEA did not show images of any bodies. French officials said identifiable bodies have been found, but would not say how many or further comment out of respect for the victims' families.
Fifty bodies were found during the first phase of the search in 2009, along with more than 600 pieces of the plane scattered on the sea. No bodies or debris have been found since, until now.
