Air France Flight Recorder Recovered
Breaking news,
earch teams on Sunday retrieved one of two black box flight recorders of an Air France plane that crashed into the Atlantic while on a Rio-Paris flight in 2009, French investigators said.
"The investigation team located and identified the memory unit from the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) at 10 h UTC this morning," said France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA), which has been tasked with probing the disaster which killed 228 people.
In a statement, the agency added that the device was "in good physical condition" after it was "raised and lifted by the Remora 6000 ROV (robot submarine) on board the ship Ile de Sein at 16h40 UTC".
"At this stage, the box seems to be in good physical condition. Our experts will tell us if there's hope to read the data," said BEA director Jean-Paul Troadec.
"If the data can be used it will allow the enquiry to make headway because the FDR (flight data recorder) records the altitude, speed, and the various positions of the rudder," Troadec added.

American Airlines Selected as Official Sponsor of 'Meet in Beijing'
American Airlines is proud to be one of only two corporate sponsors of the 2011 Meet in Beijing Arts Festival, an event that attracts world-class international performers and artists to Beijing. Held annually for the last 10 years, this year's festival runs from this week until the end of May, and spotlights how expressions of culture transcend beyond arts and entertainment, embracing friendship, education, and cultural diversity.
"Bringing the people and cultures of the world together is what air travel is all about," said Gerard Arpey, American's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Like air travel, the arts lift our spirits, broaden our horizon and give us a fresh perspective on the world around us.
"I would like to congratulate and thank the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China for making Meet in Beijing the biggest such festival in Asia," Arpey added. "We know this year's festival will be another great success."

AirAsia to introduces fuel surcharges
AirAsia is to introduce fuel surcharges from May, it announced April 29, becoming one of the first major low-cost airlines to do so.
The Asian budget carrier, which operates a network across Asia and to long-haul destinations including Seoul, Delhi, Melbourne, London and Paris through its AirAsia X long-haul carrier said it would introduce the charges on May 3.
It will affect all domestic flights within Malaysia and all international routes, the airline said, although domestic flights within Thailand and Indonesia will not be affected.
Passengers flying to Paris, London and Christchurch in New Zealand will have to pay the most - an extra RM90 (€20) per flight.
The price of fuel has skyrocketed in recent months, with major airlines around the world imposing surcharges on passengers to offset the increased cost of flying their jets.
However, many low-cost airlines have resisted the move - Ryanair said last month that it guaranteed "no fuel surcharges ever" as European package holiday firms Thomas Cook and TUI raised theirs.
In the US, budget carrier Southwest said last month that it expected fuel prices to carry on rising, and although it does not currently impose a fuel surcharge, analysts expect ticket prices to rise to cover the cost.
