It would be a good idea for people to look back over the AF447 thread. The wreck could have been found a lot earlier if the search pattern hadn't been interrupted by a spurious indication of a pinger picked up apparently by a nuclear sub the Emeraude. This red herring caused the search vessels to divert, and lose the remainder of their search time for that season. Also as far as this incident is concerned there are a lot of assets in the med, there is a much more accurate LKP and much closer ports for search vessels to use.

Reason: auto spelling of Emeraude
