Debris Found Off Brazil Coast From AF447 Wreckage-Minister

摘要：巴西国防部长乔宾(Nelson Jobim)周二表示，空军飞机已经在巴西东北海岸外大西洋海面上发现了一段3英里长的飞机残骸漂浮带，证实法国航空公司(Air France) 447航班飞机已坠毁。

Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said on Tuesday that air force planes had found a three-mile line of debris in the ocean off of Brazil's north east coast, confirming the destruction of Air France Flight 447.

No survivors have been found.

The plane, with 228 people on board, disappeared nearly four hours after having left Rio de Janeiro airport on Sunday night. The jetliner had been flying through heavy storms and turbulence.

Speaking in Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Jobim said that the large amount of debris, including airplane seats and oil spotted by search aircraft at about 12:30 p.m., Brasilia time, 'lead us to confirm it's the remains of the Air France plane.'

The search for any survivors as well as collection of the plane's remains will continue, Mr. Jobim said.
