Investigators say they have discovered what appears to be part of an Air France passenger aircraft that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean almost two years ago.
The plane crashed en route from Brazil to Paris on 1 June, 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
the BEA accident investigation authority said a deep-sea salvage vessel located pieces of a plane in the past 24 hours and French experts believe they come from the missing Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
France last month began a fourth search for wreckage and the flight's black boxes, which were never found.
An initial search recovered bodies and some of the wreckage.
