rgbrock, as of July 21, still not definitively identified as coming from either AF 447 or an Ariane

Stabroek News - Hope beach find still not positively identified

Regarding the news today of extending the search several months, assuming they can scan about 400 sq km a day, they are now about 10 days into this second phase, and no indication they have found the wreckage yet. And assuming they started the scan in the area they thought most likely to be the impact point, that's rather disappointing. This would now be an area equivalent to a square about 65 sq km on a side that's been scanned without apparent result.
