During the Press Conference the BEA stated that they would "listen" for the CVR and FDR for another 10 days and then they would continue the search with another method (sonar?) "until these units were found"
It was also stated that the aircraft impacted the sea tail first slight bank to the left and almost flat. This conclusion reached from evidence on the VS, which was torn from the fuselage aft to forward, the galley tray damage and pieces of the cabin floor which were bulged upwards. It was also stated that the A/C accelerated to the surface of the sea. He also stated that the A/C did not call Senegal and three other aircraft crew interviewed, who flew the route within 30 mins of AF447, had encountered moderate turbulence and had diverted from 10 to 80 kilometers from course to minimise the impact of this. These A/C also heard nothing from AF447. The pitot problems were stated to be "involved in the incident but not the sole cause" No sign of the presentation being posted on the net as yet.
