French vessel to join EgyptAir MS804 search
French marine wreckage specialists ALSEAMAR will join the hunt for the data recorders from EgyptAir flight MS804, the head of Egypt's air accident investigations said. A week after the Airbus A320 crashed into the Mediterranean, investigators have no clear picture of its final moments. Search teams are working against the clock to recover the flight recorders, because the signals that help locate them in deep water cease transmitting after about 30 days. Negotiations were also underway to contract a second firm to search more than one area at once. ALSEAMAR has worked with Egyptian investigators before. In 2004, it joined the search for black boxes after a Boeing 737 belonging to Egypt's Flash Air crashed in the Red Sea near Sharm el-Sheikh. <br/>
