BEA replies to SPAF on AF447 flight accident
Paris, France - The bureau recommends the greatest caution
(WAPA) - "Last weekend the press featured some statements on the accident that occurred on 1st June 2009 to flight AF447. The BEA (Bureau d'enquêtes et d'analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile, Editor's note) would like to remind you that the evidence available is currently being studied by the top French specialists, assisted by those from abroad. The investigation is progressing, but it is a particularly difficult one and it is too early to be able to describe the circumstances of the accident or, still less, attempt to explain them. Once again, we can only recommend the greatest caution.
As has already been announced, the BEA is planning to publish a further interim report before the end of the year. In parallel to this, information on the third phase of the search for the airplane wreckage will be released as soon as investigators have completed the preparations for these operations".
