Excerpts
- Search efforts to locate the CVR memory module continue.
- Attention is concentrated in a 25m x 25m region where the beacons, FDR and fragments of CVR were found previously on or near the surface of the sea bed.
- Now teams are digging below the surface, working 5m x 6m sections of a matrix at a time. A "mud blower" was introduced on the 9th to complement manual excavation.
- Inclement weather is impeding progress. Not only are wind, waves and rain factors at the immediate search site, flooding on an adjacent island has triggered such severe runoff of muddy water that sediment from the runoff is impairing underwater visibility at the crash site.
