black box search
What is the latest on the presumably sunk AF 330 data recorder/"black box" search? (If this theme has already been more than exhausted [as the things locater batteries must be by now]then please forgive my suddenly barging in here asking that question again plus my laziness in not bothering to wade through all the posts to find out). Anyway, a day or so after the aircraft was missing and presumed crashed into the Atlantic, I was watching a televised press conference on the news where a high ranking AF official was up to bat. At one point he said there was a strong possibility that the flight data recorder may never be found or retrieved. I found that an odd thing to say so early on - particularly since data recorders for years have been specifically designed and improved by clever boffins to be found - and in virtually any environment imaginable (including, I assume, an ocean floor).
