New calculations by investigators based on the black boxes last pings gathered by the French submarine, the Emeraude have narrowed the area to a space the size of Paris. The boxes have NOT been found; but the search area has been narrowed from 770 square miles. Gen. Christian Baptiste said that they are searching for recorders the size of a shoe box in an undersea mountain range.
The March-April $10 million third phase of the search failed to find the black boxes. Air France and Airbus have each ponied up $1.9 million to continue a scaled down search as some of the search equipment is released back to its owners.
