I watched the BEA press conference but nothing very new:
- They do not want to speculate. It was answered to journalist question that the wreck probable location imply that AF447 turned back for unknown reason.
- 2/3rd of the search area was already covered, but exploitation is not made at the same time (drones are delivering data after 20 hrs of exploration).
- Two different signals were recorded by Emeraude sensors on 1st July. Signal analysis permited to acertain that they came from airborne distress balises: matching frenquencies, tempo, and modulations. So Navy/Thales people are pretty sure that they picked the right signals and it was confirmed again during another conference with experts.
