BEA Director Jean-Paul Troadec also told AFP that investigators have hope of finding the plane's black boxes because the debris area was relatively concentrated.
"The favourable news is that the debris area is relatively concentrated. And this gives us hope of finding the black boxes," he said. Troadec said the parts of the wreckage that had been found consisted of "engines and certain elements of the wings". The BEA is to publish first pictures of the wreckage found in the Atlantic on Monday.
"The BEA will on Monday afternoon hold a press conference to show first pictures of the plane parts," a spokeswoman told AFP. The conference is to be held at 3:00 pm (1300 GMT) at BEA headquarters near Le Bourget airport, north of Paris.
With Airbus and Gov. Co. funding the opps. Any data recovered will be dubious to say the least. IMHO this debris field has already been picked clean, "evidence" replaced and official findings written.
Call me a cynic if you will...but I AM.
I have no issues with AB products. None with Boeing.
I DO have issues with transparency and/or lack of it.

Not that I believe in everything in the press or from various governments or official company documents but in this case I'd say you are very cynical indeed!
If Air France and the French government wanted this to go away quietly, then why would they still be out there 2 years after the crash trying to find the aircraft and its 2 black boxes?
They have nothing to gain from this prolonged search for it except find the boxes and possibl the true cause of the crash.
No extensive search = no found aircraft = status quo = no real explanation for the crash = the story goes away slowly and eventually dies.
Not the case anymore now that a big chunk of the aircraft has been found!

AF and Airbus have gone well beyond duty and expectation with their investigations. Their determination to persist with the search in order to find the cause and hopefully prevent a repetition deserves the highest praise.
No, I will go one better - you have now joined the "conspiracy theorists" who will find any excuse to throw crp around.

Incredible rubbish. As if that were possible... OK, so along with the 'fact' that US never went to the moon, the 9/11 attack aircraft were holograms, and Elvis is living in my basement, now we have a staged debris field at 4km depth. Right
Until the results are published, might it not be wise to keep the calls of "foul" under your hat? Once they are published, then let's see what the story is.

Has anyone read anything yet about how deep the wreckage is? The BBC report stated only that they had been searching as deep as 4000 meters, but didn't specify where the wreckage was found. Just curious.

So you're suggesting that Airbus has already discovered the site and removed anything incriminating before then allowing a search that it funded to find the wreckage.... fine example of Occam's Razor there.
p around.
