BEA Says 3rd Search is Done
The BEA announced that the third phase of the search for the black boxes ended unsuccessfully on May 24th. Neither the wreckage nor the black boxes of AF447 were found after searching 17000 square kilometers in all.
The BEA has published a map of the search area in their discussion of the final search phase:

The fact that the search area was narrowed down is insignificant as the boxes have not been found. It has been a year since the crash. The family association is pushing for the search to continue until the black boxes are found. And who can blame them? What would the rest of the world be doing if it was their loved ones who had been lost?
