We've also caught sight of some Western investigators who've just arrived, trawling through the assorted bits and pieces that have been brought to shore which I suspect based on yesterday's footage of people hanging off the side of boats fishing stuff out of the water, may well comprise extraneous junk picked up during the search. As is the case in this part of the world the media appear to have carte blanche to follow the teams everywhere (yesterday a gallant reporter was shown accompanying one of the divers deep under water to look for the black boxes). It is what it is though so it's a major relief that the recorders have been found. Here's hoping that someone remembers to record the co-ordinates of where at least some of the aircraft debris was found floating.
