This is of course nowhere near a complete list, i will post one as soon as it is released.

Some wreckage has been found in the atlantic along flight 447′s flight path, which the braziliann government has confirmed as being from the doomed airliner.

Among the debris includes an airplane seat, a life jacket, metallic debris and signs of fuel.

This is great news as it means that they are much closer to being able to find out exactly what happened to the airliner, and more importantly to  being able to bring home the victims of this tradegy to their greiving familys.

This is all i have at the moment.

authorities have still not released a passenger manifest i will keep you updated.

*UPDATE*

The debris found and mentioned here is not that of flight 447 it was just floating trash i am sorry for the misleading information, i keep you updated as to if they do find any actual debris.

*UPDATE* 7/6/09

There have been 2 bodies recovered from the atlantic the are definately from the Air France flight, Some of the wreckage recovered at the same time included  stub from a ticket to the flight.

*UPDATE* 12/6/09

The latest findings have the plane breaking up in midair over the space of a few minutes, rather than one catastrophic incident.

The Brazilian air force has revealed that bodies have been found as far as 50 miles apart, and the other factor to this, the latest conclusion is that further analysis into the messages the plane sent out before contact was lost, does suggest that the plane broke apart in the air before it crashed.

228 souls are lost forever May they all rest in peace.
