Air France flight 447 plunged into the ocean en route to Paris from Rio de Janeiro in June 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board, after hitting stormy weather.The discovery of chunks of the planes wreckage, in a vast search radius of 10,000 square kilometres, has raised hopes the aircrafts black boxes might be within reach.Finding the black box flight recorders would be a priority in the coming weeks, said chief of the BEA air accident inquiry office, who showed pictures of mangled engines, landing gear and wing parts during a news conference.
