ROBERT FRANCIS, NATIONAL TRANSP.SAFETY BOARD:
The everglades are posing an immense challenge to investigators.
The mucky combination of water and mud is said to be up to 40-feet thick in
some places, making it virtually impossible to extract bodies or airplane
parts.
One idea is to build a pontoon bridge from a nearby levy.
Another is to build a dam around the spot and drain all the water.
One thing seems certain, this salvage won't be ending any time soon.

safety and maintenance procedures.
