Special Report: Air France jet vanishes |
Recovery teams for the crashed Air France Flight 447 are continuing their search off the coast of Brazil. Officials say they have found new debris, but no more bodies.
A Brazilian Air Force spokesman says 49 bodies out of the 228 passengers and crew have been located. He also confirmed that teams will continue their mission for an "indeterminate period of time".
Meanwhile, the search for the A-3-30's black boxes was reinforced on Monday.
A high-tech US Navy device began listening for pings in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. A French nuclear submarine is also being used to look for signs of the black boxes.
