Air France flight was found a 3-mile (5-kilometer) path of wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean, confirming that an Air France jet carrying 228 people crashed in the sea Tuesday. The discovery confirms that the plane went down in that area, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. The strip of wreckage included metallic and nonmetallic pieces, but did not describe them in detail. No bodies were spotted in the crash of the Airbus A330 in which all aboard are believed to have died.
The discovery came just hours after authorities announced they had found an airplane seat, an orange buoy and signs of fuel in a part of the Atlantic Ocean where ocean depths range from less than 1,610 meters (one mile) to more than 4,800 meters (three miles). Recovery of the plane's cockpit voice and data recorders and other wreckage could be difficult because much of the wreckage sank.

yes I've been watching the news here this mroning, no bodies have been found yet maybe because all the passengers were wearing seatbelts and traps inside the plane, hopefully the lane still intact so it would be easier for the invistigator for their findings but it'll take a while coz it sank very deep
I feel so sorry for the victims and their families! That's why if I ever take longer flights, I made sure that I am flying Boeing 777 flight for that kind of routes. Even with bigger airplane you can feel the roughness of the weather through Atlantic Ocean. It is very scary!
I hope you are right about the passengers whereafter. My prayers to everyone on that flight.
