Navy Divers from Brazil have begun recovering wreckage from the Air France jet that crashed into the Atantic Ocean on Monday (June 1st).

At the moment, 5km of water are being combed by Navy ships where jet fuel, aircraft seats and other parts of the wreckage have been spotted.

The A330 is thought to have hit severe storms four hours into its flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. 216 passengers and 16 crew members were said to be onboard the aircraft when it disappeared from the radar.

There is now no doubt in anyones mind that the wreckage is that of the A330 aircraft.

The black box flight recorder is needed as it could hold vital clues about what happened to the aircraft, however at this time of year, recovering it could be very difficult as it could be as far as 10 miles below the surface of the ocean.

There are many different views on why the aircraft came down, one being a lightening bolt causing a severe electrical failure and another being a bomb threat. Modern aircraft however are designed to be resistant to lightening, which has now caused a series of debates.
