USA Today has a round up of AF447 so far - nothing new but interesting comment from John Fish
Even though ships have prowled the Atlantic in vain for several weeks in search of the jet's two crash-proof recorders, chances are still good that the recorders and the wreckage will be found, according to investigators and deep water salvage experts.
John Fish, a sonar expert who has helped recover underwater aircraft wreckage, said he's optimistic that a thorough search of the ocean bottom will help uncover the jet's remains.
"They are going to find it," Fish said. "It's just going to take longer because it is in deeper water."
The search is similar to what occurred after a South African Airways jet crashed in the Indian Ocean on Nov. 28, 1987, Fish said. Initial attempts to listen for the pingers on the recorders, which were nearly 15,000 feet deep, were futile.
But a U.S. team using sonar located the wreckage two months later. More than a year after the accident, one of the two recorders was found. The cockpit recording confirmed that the jet had been brought down by a fire.
