Intense hunt for plane black box off Brazil

June 11, 2009

The deep-sea hunt for the black boxes of a doomed Air France plane intensified Thursday, with French and Brazilian naval ships, a nuclear submarine, military planes and helicopters and a tugboat equipped with underwater listening devices deployed to the crash zone off Brazil. Forty-one bodies have been recovered in the search and recovery operation since the plane, carrying 228 people on board, went down on June 1.
