Brazilian defense minister confirms Air France plane crash
Published: 02/06/2009 05:00
| The three-mile (five kilometers) path of wreckage found in the Atlantic Ocean belongs to an Air France jet carrying 228 people that was believed to have crashed into the sea, Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim confirmed on Tuesday.
The debris were found about 400 miles from Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha archipelago, near the Sao Pedro and Sao Paulo Islands. The items were spread over five kilometers, which, according to the minister, showed that the plane indeed fell at that site. There is still no way to determine whether the plane blew up, and there is also no news of survivors, said Jobim. The objects found at the sea will be taken to the Fernando de Noronha archipelago on a Brazilian naval ship, said Jobim. The minister added that Brazil will be in charge of the recovery of the plane parts, while France will carry out the investigations. The final passengers’ list of the plane will be released on Wednesday by Air France, Jobim said. But it will not be complete, he said. VietNamNet/Xinhuanet |
