France to hunt again for vanished Rio-Paris flight

The French government has announced plans for a fourth search for the flight recorders of an Air France Airbus 330 jetliner that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris 18 months ago. Families of some of the 228 people who died in the crash of Flight 447 have demanded that France not give up the hunt for the flight recorders -- and answers about what caused the crash.
