Thanks! A very interesting piece of information. Logically, droplets of Jet fuel would be emitted by the wreckage for a few days after the fact (and maybe even now) and would rise up through the water before spreading out on the surface to finally evaporate. I wonder if anything was detected at a future date from the same area?. Any evidence of a focal point near the LKP emitting hydrocarbons for a period of days would be almost conclusive evidence of AF447's location..
Detection of any currently emitted jet fuel would likely require a different method of detection, probably a "sniffer".
The BEA 3rd Phase search area determination site was not responding when I tried it over the weekend.
