Body of confirmed passenger on doomed Air France Flight 447 found

The bodies of two men, one of whom has been confirmed to be a passenger from doomed Air France flight 447, have been found.

However, the exact location of where the plane plummeted is still unclear since ocean currents likely caused the bodies and debris to drift in the days since the crash.

Earlier, investigators said the plane sent out 24 automated error messages before it vanished into the Atlantic.

The messages suggest the plane may have been flying too fast or too slow through the severe storms it encountered before the crash.

All 228 people aboard the jet flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris are presumed to have died when it went down on Monday off the northeast coast of Brazil.
