Air India Wreckage Yields Body
A body still in its seat was recovered today from the wreckage of the Air India jetliner that crashed off the Irish coast four months ago, crash investigators said.
The body was the first discovered in the jetliner’s wreckage since the initial search operation immediately after the June 23 crash of the Boeing 747, which killed all 329 people on board in the third worst disaster in civil aviation history. All of the 131 bodies found before today have been identified. The body found today was in a section of the fuselage hoisted to the surface from more than a mile deep in the Atlantic seabed.
