Jet crash: Four more bodies recovered

FOUR more bodies were found yesterday in the ocean near the spot where an Air France jet is believed to have crashed a week ago, bringing the total number of bodies plucked from the water to six, Brazil’s military said.

Authorities said pilots searching the mid-Atlantic also spotted an undetermined number of additional bodies from the air and are sending ships to recover them, Navy Captain Giucemar Tabosa Cardoso said.

Flight 447 disappeared in turbulent weather on May 31 during a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 228 people aboard – all now presumed dead.
