17 Bodies Found in Atlantic Air France Crash

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) -- Searchers have now found 17 bodies from the area in the Atlantic Ocean where an Air France Airbus A330 was lost one week ago.

Two bodies were recovered Saturday, and Brazilian and French ships picked up the others Sunday as pilots participating in a grid search reported additional sightings. The bodies have been found in an area about 45 miles from where the jet sent out its final automatic messages, signaling the plane had lost cabin pressure and its electrical systems had failed.

The investigation is increasingly focused on whether external instruments on the jet may have iced over in a storm, confusing speed sensors and leading the plane's computers to set the speed too fast or too slow, a potentially deadly error.

In Lafayette, La., Sunday, friends and family remembered geologist Michael Harris and his wife, Anne Harris at a memorial service. They were the only U.S. citizens on the flight. The couple had lived in Lafayette before moving to Houston and then to Brazil.
