We don't have any evidence at this point of a bomb or missile,

We're getting support from everyone to do it right, so we'll do it properly.

We have no evidence at this point that this was not an accident,

So many people were trying to help that it was a question of how one was going to manage this, ... We've managed to get a lot done today.

I would encourage people, if they did see this happen, we certainly would be interested in hearing from them,

I would also say that is not a particularly high price to pay for making sure that we recover the victims for those families.

I am interested in looking ahead, not back, I'm not interested in assessing blame. We're all part of a team and we're going to solve this tragic situation and we're going to recover the victims.

Fuel systems are something that's pretty key for that part of the aircraft, so the systems group wants to focus in on that,

We're primarily still concerned with recovering bodies, and we hope we find them in that big section of fuselage, but don't everybody think that this is going to happen from today until tomorrow because we still could have a bit of time ahead of us,

I said what I have been saying -- that there is no question in anybody's mind, nor has there been, what the priority was,

That's a truly remarkable piece of film. This piece of film will now allow the NTSB to prioritize, a little bit, what they're looking for in terms of the wreckage.

When I see all these assumptions, I get a little twitchy.

The priority that we give to the recovery of the victims is probably marginally delaying our finding out what happened to cause this catastrophe,

perhaps as a result of the country pulling together and young people focusing on family and community values.

This doesn't mean the trace elements we found were caused by the training exercise, ... We're just saying it could be the chemical found.

It runs on a cycle of a half an hour, ... Given what happened. It is unlikely we will be getting voice information from the (cockpit voice recorder).

Everyone is satisfied the engines were not a factor in the accident or whatever it turns out to be,

TCO for Application Servers: Comparing Linux with Windows and Solaris.

They've located what they believe is part of a third engine, ... Hopefully, the fourth engine will be under what is still a substantial amount of wreckage under (USS) Grasp.

These people are just wonderful, and I say this in terms of their professionalism and enthusiasm.

If there was a bomb on the plane, there's going to be evidence that transcends what we're talking about here.

In the most fruitful areas, they're finding that over 40 percent of the areas identified are actually parts of the airplane.

I read a lot of books by well-informed authors.

The French government has been represented by its own officials in the investigation since the second day. The French government has their experts here, they're talking to our people all the time,

all of the divers continue to prioritize on victim recovery, and the only other work that is being done is work that can be done without interfering with that.
