Investigators find Air France black box

Posted: 01 May 2011 02:21 PM PDT

France's air accident investigation agency, the BEA, shows the flight data recorder from the 2009 Air France flight that went down in the mid-Atlantic. In a statement, the BEA said the black box was "localized and identified" on Sunday morning. The statement included photos of the recorder, a red cylinder partially buried in sand on the sea floor. Investigators hope that the black box will help determine what caused the June 1, 2009 crash of Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to the French capital, Paris. All 228 people on board were killed when the aircraft plunged into a remote area of the Atlantic during a thunderstorm. Investigators have located and recovered the missing memory unit of the flight data recorder of a 2009 Air France flight — a discovery they hope will explain why the aircraft crashed in the mid-Atlantic, killing all 228 people on board.
