Debris found not from Air France flight after all, Brazil says
Reporting from Bogota — Brazilian officials on Friday retracted assertions that debris spotted in the Atlantic Ocean was wreckage of Air France Flight 447, and experts warned that the possibility of locating debris and determining the cause of the crash was fading.
The Brazilian air force said that debris picked up Thursday was not that of the Airbus A330, as Defense Minister Nelson Jobim had said. Moreover, officials said a fuel slick they previously said was caused by the ditched airliner may have come from a ship.
