The bodies of some of the 228 victims of the worst air crash in Air France’s history have been found nearly 4 kilometers below the Atlantic Ocean.
Eerie images of the underwater tomb, which includes British and Irish victims, have been taken by submarines equipped with robot-controlled cameras.
As investigators released some of the images in Paris, they said they also showed the "vast majority" of the Airbus A330-203 had also been discovered, including its engines.
This raises renewed hope that the black box flight recorders can be retrieved, so helping to explain why Flight AF 447 crashed en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1, 2009.
The £8million search is being financed jointly by Air France and Airbus, who are both at the centre of a criminal enquiry into the disaster, and face manslaughter charges.
