Calmer waters today in the Atlantic should speed up recovery efforts in the
crash of T-W-A flight 800.
A Coast Guard official says several ships and jets will be combing the
crash site today.
Investigators will try to sink a video camera into the ocean to get a
picture of a large object spotted by sonar.
They believe the object could be the 7-47's fuesalage.
If it is the fuselage, it could yield more bodies.
So far, the remains of 101 people have been recovered.
The plane was carrying 230.
Also missing are the plane's two flight recorders which could help explain
the cause of the tragedy.
