over a hundred items from the flight , including a seat, oxygen masks a
sack with an Air-France ticket. Investigators say the pilots may have

they were relying on faulty speed readings. French experts maintain
that Airbus had issued a directive for replacement of speed sensors in

from the Air-France jet said Brazilian president Lula da Silva.Recovery
of bodies will not help find the cause of the crash but will offer a
relief to the relatives of the victims, he added.
