A first body of a victim's flight from Rio to Paris found in the wreckage of the aircraft could be remounted on board the vessel involved in research, announced Thursday the direction of the police.
The discovery of two black boxes from Flight 447, apparently in good condition, Sunday and Monday in the Atlantic, should help elucidate the causes of the accident, which has killed 228 on 1 June 2009.
The wreckage was located early April, 22 months after the accident, at 3,900 m depth and a dozen bodies were in a part of the fuselage of the Airbus.Fifty others were rescued at sea shortly after the disappearance of the aircraft.
Experts have warned that the recovery of the bodies was not guaranteed, some corpses can not resist any manipulation and transfer in the warmer waters of the Atlantic.
A first body was nevertheless rebounded Thursday.
Remained submerged for two years or to a depth of 3900 meters, this body, still strapped to a seat on the plane, "appears degraded," said the police in a statement.
Samples were made by investigators and will be sent next week to a laboratory for analysis to determine the possibility of identifying victims through DNA.
The police said that large uncertainties remain about the possibility of raising other body, attempts to lift itself down "in a particularly complex and hitherto unpublished."
Investigators as the families of the victims hope that the analysis of the two black boxes of the device will remove the mystery of the crash of Paris-Rio.If they prove workable, they could allow investigators to recover by late May the scenario of the disaster.
A patrol is gone Monday in Cayenne, French Guiana, to join the cable ship Ile de Sein offshore Brazil and recover the two black boxes, which are sealed. The recorders will then be sent to Paris, where their openness and analysis should begin within the next ten days.
