Body recovery in progress

Body recovered from sunken helicopter wreckage

... Mike Cunningham, lead investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, told reporters that crews working on the recovery effort were able to see "about 10 to 13 bodies" in the fuselage of the Cougar Helicopters aircraft, which lies beneath 120 metres of water in the Atlantic Ocean.

"That number must be taken as a guess at this time. There may be more," Cunningham told reporters. "It is very delicate work and has to be done very carefully. It's work that could take 18 to 24 hours, if everything goes well."
