The world saw the disappearance of an Airbus A330-200 Air Frane during a trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris . Flight AF 447 left Rio de Janeiro, bound for Paris, at 1900 local time (2200 GMT) on Sunday. The aircraft, an Airbus A330-200, had been in operation since April 2005. Shortly after the aircraft's scheduled arrival time in Paris of 1110 local time (0910 GMT), it was announced that the flight was missing.
The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre .
It can be imagined that he was standing during the impact with the Embraer Legacy and during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So the camera was found near the cockpit.
More than 400 pieces of a crashed Air France jet have been recovered in a painstaking search in the Atlantic Ocean, French investigators have revealed.
But no conclusions have yet been reached in the probe to discover why the airliner carrying 228 people went down en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
"If we had concluded or excluded something, we would have told you," said Paul-Louis Arslanian, head of the French air accident investigation agency BEA.
But he expressed "a little more optimism" in finding clues to what caused the crash as discovery of more debris narrowed the vast search zone off the north east coast of Brazil.
Flight AF447, an Airbus A330, crashed into the ocean on June 1 after running into thunderstorms.
Speaking in Paris, Mr Arslanian said the pieces of wreckage that have been recovered were being gathered in a hangar in Recife, Brazil.
He said the debris came from "all zones" of the plane, but did not describe them in detail or say what proportion of the entire Airbus A330 has been retrieved.(Source Shekulli.com.al; SkyNews.com )
