Submarine to probe French Polynesian plane crash site

The French interior ministry says the government has decided to send the ship Ile de Re to the site of last week’s plane crash in French Polynesia. The Ship equipped with a small submarine, is part of efforts to recover the wreck of the Air Moorea Twin Otter which is in about 450 meters of water and believed to still have six bodies inside. The French authorities have also asked the US to send a large ship to Moorea to help in the recovery of the plane and its voice recorder.
It’s not known what caused the plane crash which killed 20 people
