(( The helicopter and water search has yielded precious little.
There is an occasional piece of debris.
Some clothing and a photo album were found today.
Air boats glide over the waist-high water and tall grass that is the Florida Everglades, in search of anything that would give a clue to the cause of this disaster.
This morning, rescuers gave up searching for victims.
CHIEF R.D. PAULISON, METRO DADE FIRE RESCUE, "WE'VE FOUND NO BODY PARTS, NO BODIES.
It is now apparent that all 109 people on board ValueJet flight 592 were either incinerated or swallowed up by the sawgrass and muck that is estimated to be 40 feet thick in some spots.
And somewhere down there is the jet's flight recorder, which could give the best evidence to the cause of the crash.
Value Jet president Lewis Jordan once again sought to insure the families of the victims and the riding public that despite problems in the past, his airline is as safe as any other.
LEWIS JORDAN, VALUEJET PRESIDENT, "IF VALUEJET AIRLINES HAD ANY REASON TO BELIEVE... GROUND IT.
FAA records show this particular plane had returned to airports seven times over the past two years because of various maintenance problems.
Over the next week, the NTSB will have the daunting task of finding out what made flight 592 go down.
They are considering draining the water out of this part of the everglades to make digging through the muck easier.
And at churches across the Miami area, special prayers were said for the crash victims, as Mother's Day 1996 became a day of mourning for 109 families.

Lynchburg came in at three point two-percent, Danville hovered around six-percent.
Double Envelope of Roanoke confirms it has reached a tentative agreement to acquire Transkrit, its cross town competitor in the printing business.
