Brazilian families of victims killed in an Air France flight over the Atlantic more than two years ago have welcomed news of recovery of data from the plane's two black boxes.
France's BEA air crash investigation agency said it would never release the cockpit voice recordings in public, but may issue transcripts of pilot
conversations if they're needed.
Nelson Marinho, who lost his son in the tragedy, said investigators should make all data public to provide explanations.
Nelson Marinho, Father of Crash Victim, said, "French investigators said that the data from the voice recorder would not be disclosed. But this does not concern the BEA -- they should not say something like this. They cannot prevent the entire world from knowing what indeed happened and
what the pilots said."
Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris vanished in a storm on June 1st,2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. The recorders were
hauled nearly four kilometers to the sea surface in early May.
Air crash investigators will analyze all data in detail. BEA brought forward its target date for publishing a new report on the crash by around six
months and said it may be able to issue interim findings in July or August.
