    Rescuers used balloons to lift 30m-long fuselage to the water's surface
    But the attempt failed when the balloons deflated and wreckage re-sank
    It was lifted to within 7metres of the surface in the failed salvage attempt
    Four more bodies recovered by divers attempting the salvage operation
    Authorities believe many more bodies remain inside the plane's fuselage
