In other words, the device was not in the water.
After more than 60 hours of flight over an area of thousands of square kilometers covering the municipalities of Paraibuna, Natividade da Serra, Redenção da Serra, Serra do mar de Caraguatatuba and São Luiz do Paraitinga, the PM’s Aviation Command and The Civil Police met yesterday to develop a new search plan.
Based on the triangulation of the signal coming from mobile phone antennas, a new approach has been defined. Instead of flying faster, to cover a larger area, it was agreed that the teams would fly at a lower speed and height, in a limited area.
The region was divided into quadrants and, on Friday morning, when police officers flew over the first quadrants, they found the wreckage in the woods.
