  1. The first flight of the day (6th overall) discovered another debris field that was a radius of three nautical miles in size.
  2. The Egyptians deployed small vessels to retrieve debris in the field they discovered.
  3. ... two confirmed debris fields have been located by U.S. Navy aircraft supporting the effort."
I gather that other debris fields have been found as well by others assisting in the search effort?

Without trying to steal mm43's thunder, the drift plotting team are doubtless working on where these debris fields drifted from. How many days of useful battery life do the FDR/CVR pingers have left? Using back of napkin ... 24.
