Brazil recovers 3 more bodies near Air France crash site
None of the bodies recovered Sunday had documents with them to indicate their identities, and authorities did not specify their gender. The first two bodies, found Saturday, were men.
The three bodies were found about 70 kilometers (45 miles) from the site where the jet sent out a burst of messages indicating it was experiencing a series of electric failures and losing cabin pressure. All the bodies that have been recovered were found in the same general area.
Authorities also said pilots searching the mid-Atlantic also spotted an undetermined number of additional bodies from the air and are sending ships to recover them, said Navy Capt. Giucemar Tabosa Cardoso.
Flight 447 disappeared in turbulent weather May 31 during a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 228 people aboard — all now presumed dead. The investigation is increasingly focused on whether external instruments may have iced over, confusing speed sensors and leading computers to set the plane's speed too fast or slow — a potentially deadly mistake.
The French agency investigating the disaster said airspeed instruments on the plane had not been replaced as the maker had recommended, but cautioned that it was too early to draw conclusions about what role that may have played in the crash.

also, in defense of my statement at the end of the previous article(http://current.com/items/90164628_2-bodies-ticket-found-near-air-france-crash-si...); i believe that all, not just air france, but all airlines that are cutting jobs and neglecting proper maintenance/innovation in the name of saving money are at fault for the influx in plane crashes in the last few years.
so it might've been ice, instrument failures, whatever; the point is, we flew to the moon... maybe, the airlines should stop penny pinchin' and begin talking to nasa.

mmm...people in the US should be much more concerned about traffic accidents and obesity.

Something very telling about the crash is that these bodies they're finding are only now floating to the surface, meaning they were still strapped in their seats until the gases inside the bodies made them float up from the ocean floor.
So that kind of rules out the bomb theory to me. If it was a bomb they would have been scattered on the surface of the water.
