These bodies were transferred to the Frigate Constitution.
At 11h39, the R-99 of the Brazilian Air Force took off from Fernando de Noronha to continue scanning electron and captured during the afternoon, several objects to the west of the area where the bodies were removed. As expected, visual search of the aircraft take off and then to clarify these points. Around 16.00 a FAB C-130 spotted the other locations with possible debris.
