Peruvian authorities are still trying to figure out what caused the crash of Aeroperu flight 603 which killed all 70 people aboard. Meanwhile a group of American divers arrived in El Callao to help Peruvian authorities in the search of the plane's lost fuselage and the two black boxes. The funeral of Pedro Villenas - one of the victims of the Aeroperu Flight 603 crash - took place on Monday in Lima. The plane crashed into the ocean last Wednesday (2nd October), killing all 70 people aboard. So far 14 bodies have been recovered and identified.

(Si, correcto. Cual es la altura que le indica el avion? O, tiene alguna referencia visual?) --C: I got "too low terrain." (Nos indica "too low terrain". (Communication is cut off) Ten minutes into the call the tower lost contact. A group of American divers is helping Peruvian authorities to search the plane's lost fuselage and the two black boxes. They arrived on Sunday and will work along Peruvian divers and rescuers. But authorities are losing hope of finding the remaining bodies due to harsh weather conditions and strong under currents that keep dragging clues and bodies away.
