French investigators to release crash report

PARIS -- French investigators will release new findings from the flight recorders of an Air France jet that crashed in the Atlantic in 2009 and was recovered after nearly two years of search efforts.

The French air accident investigation agency, the BEA, said it will release Friday a report on the crash.

It says in a statement Monday that "this report will present the exact circumstances of the accident with an initial analysis and some new findings based on the data recovered from the flight recorders."

All 228 people aboard Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris died when it crashed. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause. The black box flight recorders were retrieved from the ocean floor in May.
