According to Denise Abreu, director of the Anac, there is little possibility of finding survivors. "It will take a miracle to find survivors".
In accordance with process, they have successfully removed the black boxes of the Legacy. "The boxes of voice and data are in perfect condition".
From this Sunday, the Anac created a contact list for passengers that will be co-ordinated by Laura Perdigão. It promised information to the families at least two times a day.
The director also informed that North American authorities are in contact with Brazil to help in the inquiries of the accident. According to it, this type of intervention is absolutely normal in cases involving aircraft of two nationalities. The Legacy manufactured in Brazil, had been bought by a company of the United States, and therefore, it is not under the Brazilian authority.
