The boss of our national carrier has seen for himself exactly where the Airbus 320, with five New Zealanders on board, plunged into the Mediterranean Sea.
Rob Fyfe visited the crash site on a frustrating day for divers, with murky waters and poor visibility hampering the search for the bodies of five of the seven people on board.
"You just take a breath and think back over the events of the last 2 or 3 days...and what was going on in the minds of our team in those last moments," says Fyfe.
The victims' families, who are slowly arriving in Perpignan, have yet to see the crash site for themselves.
Emma Gould, the partner of Auckland engineer, Murray White spent the day coming to terms with being in Perpignan.
She met with his colleagues who were with Murray before he boarded the flight.
The two bodies already recovered have still not been identified and the victims' families have brought DNA samples with them to aid the process.
Investigators are hoping that the plane's black boxes will provide some answers as to why the plane came down. One has been recovered, but divers are hoping to extract the other one from the plane's cockpit soon.
However authorities say divers are being hindered by murky waters stirred up by the past few days' bad weather.
