Air France debris found

SHOOT: And a 50th body was found. But the black boxes are still missing.

clipped from news.yahoo.com LE BOURGET, France – Search teams have recovered more than 400 pieces of debris from Air France Flight 447 but investigators still do not know why the plane crashed into the Atlantic, the French accident chief said Wednesday. Rescuers and military search equipment from Brazil, France, the United States and other countries are methodically scanning the surface and depths of the Atlantic for signs of the Airbus A330 that crashed May 31 after running into thunderstorms en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. All 228 people aboard were killed. Arslanian said the debris that has been found came from "all zones" of the plane, but did not describe it in detail or say what proportion of the plane had been retrieved. The wreckage, some in sections so large and heavy that cranes are required to move it, is being collected in a hangar in Recife, Brazil.
