SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil called off the search for more bodies and debris from the Air
France jet that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean but an American officer said the search for the
black boxes would likely continue for at least another 16 days.
Brazilian and French searchers have recovered large chunks of debris and 51 bodies from Air
France Flight 447, which disappeared with 228 people on board late May 31.
Brazil's air force and navy on Friday ended their search for more bodies or debris.
"The reason for this is the impossibility of finding survivors or bodies, which has always been the
main focus of our search efforts," Brazilian Air Force Col. Henry Munhoz said at news
conference.
But Munhoz said the search for the black boxes would continue "coordinated by France."
Experts say the black boxes may be key to deciding what brought the airliner down. And signals
from the voice and data recorders begin to fade after about 30 days.
