400 pieces of Air France plane recovered

French investigators today said more than 400 pieces of Flight 447 have been recovered in the Atlantic.

Paul-Louis Arslanian, head of the French air accident investigation agency, says no firm conclusions have been drawn in the probe into the crash.

He said at a news conference outside Paris that more than 400 pieces of debris have been recovered in the international search and are being gathered in a hangar in Recife, Brazil.

He also said Brazilian authorities have not released to the French the autopsy results from the bodies recovered so far, although he expects they will be released.

The Airbus A330 fell into the ocean on May 31 with 228 people aboard, en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
