Flight 447: Second body recovered.

Another body of one of the victims of Flight 447 was recovered this Friday, the president of the Brazilian Association of Families of Victims of Flight AF 447 informed the G1 news portal. This is the second body to be recovered from the sea since Thursday. The Air France plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, with 228 people on board. Nelson Marinho said he received an email from a French ambassador confirming the recovery of the body. According to Nelson Marinho, the text was written in French. “My daughter read it to me and said that a second body had been recovered from the sea. They promised to send a second email in Portuguese and English with new information,” Marinho said in a telephone interview with the portal. He added that the ambassador's name is Philippe Vinogradoff and he has been the representative of the French government to the families. According to the news agency France Press, the Institute of Criminal Research of the National Gendarmerie (IRCGN) of France confirmed the recovery of the second body.

Marinho said he hopes other bodies will be recovered. "I am certain that, by law, every body found, wherever it may be, must be removed and identified. Even if they are not complete. The first ones, which were removed from the sea at the time of the accident, were also not whole, so much so that the coffins were delivered to us sealed," he said in an interview with G1.

This Friday, in Rio de Janeiro, the Minister of Defense, Nelson Jobim, maintained the same discourse. “The bodies that were found will be removed, obviously. Then we have to find out who they are, do DNA testing, etc. Things will proceed normally,” he said during a visit to the Complexo do Alemão favela complex in the North Zone of Rio.
