I’ve been following the news, and it appears that the Brazillian naval and air forces have begun to find items attributed to Flight 447, including two bodies. But there’s a lot of ocean to search in, as these were found about 660 miles off the Brazilian coast. As far as photos of the areas of floating garbage, satellite photos are inconclusive and a lot of this trash is clear plastic bags and other material that can’t be picked up in satellite photos. But ships passing by have seen the trash first hand.

Like no one knew there was garbage in the ocean before the jet disappearance?
