17 bodies from Air France jet recovered


17 bodies has been recovered from the crashed Air France jet which went down into the Atlantic last week. Due to the bad conditions of the body, the sex could not be determined. Dozens of debris of the plane was also found. Brazilian and French continues to search the crash zone 700km northeast of Brazil for bodies and wreckage. Submarines are also expected to arrive to search for the black box from AF447 which is believed to have sunk deep into the Atlantic.

The first ship should head to the scene by 10 June carrying equipments that can track things that emit a sound up to 6km deep in the water. Officials have said that they have no hope of finding survivors from the plane. This disaster is the worst in Air France's 75 year history.

No distress call was from the plane before it disappeared. Investigators are trying to find out why it crashed. Preliminary hypothesis are that the plane might have stalled due to low speed or too fast and causing it to break apart when it reaches the speed of sound, at Mach 1.0.




OPC common test today. I was glad it was quite easy! Should be able to score 70 I guess? =p
