"Missing component"

FlyVMO,

The latest news (http://oglobo.globo.com/pais/mat/200.../286044858.asp) has it that the "component" has not yet been found. Not sure whether it's from the CVR or FDR but the major in charge of the search describes it as a small (about the size of a 600ml bottle) orange cylinder.

The search area, as I'm sure you've seen from photos, is dense forest, quite dark on the floor, pretty exhausting to try to move through. Very much a needle in the haystack search.

Of the 154 on board, 9 bodies had not been found as at today.
