China Daily | Updated: 2009-06-03 07:47

RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazilian military search planes found debris in the Atlantic Ocean yesterday that could be wreckage of a missing Air France flight carrying 228 people that disappeared in a storm the previous day.

Military planes saw metallic objects and plane seats 650 km north of the islands of Fernando de Noronha off Brazil's northern coast.

The area is near where the last contact was made with the Airbus A330 that took off for Paris from Rio de Janeiro on Sunday night and went missing in storms about four hours later without sending any distress signal.
