Navy divers recovered a second engine and several debris pieces, including cockpit seats, from the ocean floor as investigators expand the search for the plane's final moments. A third engine was located and evaluated while a fourth remained buried.

Corning Eyes North Carolina Sites for New Optical Fiber Plant
Corning searches for a site in the Southeast including North Carolina for a 100 million optical fiber manufacturing plant to meet rising world demand and to reinforce its position as a leading supplier. The company may also spend 250 million to expand an existing plant in Wilmington, North Carolina, the largest of its kind in the state. Local officials would not confirm sites, but officials mention Cabarrus County and Winston-Salem as possible locations in North Carolina’s Telecom Valley, home to several fiber and cable makers.
