Wreckage of Jumbo Jet Located

CORK, Ireland — A British navy search ship today located the bulk of the wreckage of the Air-India jumbo jet that crashed off Ireland with 329 people aboard, an Irish government spokesman said.

He told reporters he did not know whether the wreckage might contain the “black box” flight recorders, vital to determining whether the Boeing 747 was blown up by a bomb before it crashed into the North Atlantic last Sunday. He also said the search ship was picking up a “weak and intermittent” signal that could be coming from one of the recorders.
