A year after Air France Flight 447 crash, victims' families demand new search for wreckage
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}PARIS (AP) — A year after Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, families of some of the 228 victims are demanding a new search for the flight recorders.
Jean-Baptiste Audousset, president of the French families association Mutual Aid and Solidarity AF447, said Monday that the families need to know what happened.
A third, euro13 million ($15.8 million) search effort that ended last week failed to find the flight recorders or even the plane.

Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau wrote to the families on May 28, in a letter seen by The Associated Press. He promised to do everything possible to find answers, but stopped short of guaranteeing another search.
