There is indeed a thin line between the clear objective on the Brazilian side to show that they are up to the salvage job so far out on the ocean and the need to protect the feelings of those who are in mourning.

Indeed the Brazilians are (laudably) going out of their way, and not only in the figurative sense. I read tonight in the Brazilian news a report that 8 more bodies were salvaged (indeed upping the total to 24) by the Brazilian Navy, from what is arguable no longer considered "Brazilian waters" (reportedly halfway to Africa east-north-east of TASIL and over 400 km northeast of St Peter and Paul Rocks)

Chapeau!
