Air France Black Box Reports

Air France Black Box update, French officials said that no black box signals from the doomed Air France Flight 447 have been detected in the Atlantic Ocean as of now. This in contrast with the previous reports that were made by a newspaper.

Le Monde, newspaper in France earlier reported that the French navy has picked up a very weak signal from the Air France Flight 447 plane that crashed into the Atlantic on June 1, killing on 228 on board.

The newspaper further reported that a mini French submarine was on the hunt to find the flight data recorders in the box before the supposed signal faded away, which could happen at any time as such automated devices lose their ability to send out signals after about one month.

Many victim families and experts have expressed their dismay that more is not done to ensure that black boxes are able to be found in mountainous deep water zones. Even with the depth of the Atlantic in the crash zone.

It can be recalled that last week, Air France announced that each plane victim's family would be awarded $24,420 in damages. Such a large amount of money but it could replace the loss of a loved one if I'm in that case? Do you think there are still hope to fid the black box?
