Air France Black Box: Are they Giving Up the Search?
The most recent search yielded nothing. Three more weeks and that’s it. But for now, apparently some of the equipment has gone back to base to refuel. Using all the latest technology including satellite tracking of ocean currents, the search teams have pinned down the most likely area and are painstakingly searching it. Some of the robot subs have gone on to other missions, but some of the technology and some of the workers remain.
In February, the head of the BEA, Jean-Paul Troadec, announced if this search is fruitless, then its all over. But in March, Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau encouraged the search to continue.
So it remains to be seen.
