Air-asia: Indonesia officials Find Bodies, debris Off Coast Of borneo Island by Franchise21(m): 11:27am On Dec 30, 2014
Indonesia officials and rescuers have seen bodies and
luggage off the coast of Borneo island on Tuesday
which was declared 95% sure to be from the missing
Air-Asia plane QZ8501 with 162 people on board.

Indonesia Air-Asia’s Flight QZ8501, an Airbus
A320-200, lost contact with air traffic control early on
Sunday during bad weather on a flight from the
Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.
Indonesia’s national broadcaster reported sighting
bodies floating in the waters, and citing Indonesian
officials as saying that there was a shadow of the
plane underneath the sea.
Forty bodies have so far been discovered about an
hour and a half flight away from Surabaya.
Search and Rescue Agency chief, Soelistyo told
reporters he was “95 per cent sure” the debris was
from the missing plane.
All resources were now being sent to the area where
the debris was found, and all objects or bodies found
would be taken to Pangkalan Bun, he said, referring to
a nearby town in Central Kalimantan province.
Mr Soelistyo added that ships with more sophisticated
technology were being deployed to check whether
larger parts of the plane were submerged beneath the
debris.
Djoko Murjatmodjo, acting director general of air
transportation at the transportation ministry, told
reporters some of the debris spotted were red and
white, Air-Asia’s colors.
“It’s probably from the aircraft,” he said.
Air-Asia CEO, Tony Fernandes, tweeted to the families:
“My heart is filled with sadness for all the families
involved in QZ 8501. On behalf of Air-Asia my
condolences.
Earlier, Indonesian officials said they were
investigating reports of smoke seen rising from an
island close to Belitung island, one of the focal points
of the search, though experts cautioned it could be
unrelated to the missing plane.
On board the plane were 137 adult passengers, 17
children and one infant, along with two pilots and five
crew.
Most were Indonesian but the passengers included one
UK national, a Malaysian, a Singaporean and three
South Koreans.
The plane left Surabaya at 05:35 Jakarta time on
Sunday and had been due to arrive in Singapore two
hours later.
Safety officials say the captain had asked for
permission to take the plane higher but, by the time
permission was granted, communication with the plane
was lost.
It was officially declared missing at 07:55.
Air-Asia previously had an excellent safety record and
there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.
