Brazilian search teams have found more pieces to the puzzle where Air France flight 447 went after it disappeared off radar last week and plunged into the Atlantic Ocean.

A large section the plane’s tail was found, as were the bodies of 24 of the 228 people abroad the flight, about 600 miles northeast of Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha islands. The US is also helping in the search; the Navy is sending equipment and manpower to search for the missing data recorders which could hold vital clue as to what exactly caused flight 447 to fall from the sky. Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula de Silva said his government is doing everything it can to recover all of the bodies – no survivors are expected – “because we know what it means for a family to recover their loved ones.”
