Some oil, a plane seat and other items were sighted 650km (400 miles) north-east of Brazil's Fernando de Noronha island, the Brazilian air force said.

The find can only be confirmed once the items are retrieved and the first boat is not due to arrive until Wednesday.

It must have been absolutely terrifying.

I heard Michael Flatley was aboard.

There was a female member of the cast of Riverdance on board, apparently.

Two bodies have been found. Hopefully, they'll find more so that their families can have some closure.

Can't find the original thread, so this'll do.

The first findings from the flight recorders have been released. It contains no analysis, simply a description of the contents of the recorders.

BEA have it in English

My un-expert eye (with just enough knowledge to be dangerous) seems to indicate that last week's statements about pilot error are generally correct. The event took about four minutes.

I'll go see what the experts on PPRUNE are saying.
