AirAsia Flight QZ8501 Plane Wreckage Found In The Sea; Several Bodies Recovered The Airasia flight QZ5801 plane which was reported missing has been found on the sea. The bodies of several victims have been recovered from the missing AirAsia flight, the Indonesian Navy said. Objects resembling parts of the plane, as well as what was thought to be the plane’s outline underwater, were seen in the search area. “There was a man swaying on the waves. After I looked at the photo carefully on my laptop, I understood it was a human body,” a lieutenant of the Indonesian Air Force told local media. The bodies so far found have been brought to an Indonesian Navy ship, National Search and Rescue Director Supriyadi told. The corpses were swollen, but intact, and did not have life jackets on, he said, as cited by AP. Several family members of missing passengers burst into tears or fainted when they saw footage of bodies floating in the water.---- Updates Coming Up!!! |

More than 40 bodies have been retrieved in the search for the AirAsia jet, the Indonesian navy has said as debris spotted in the Java Sea was confirmed as belonging to the plane. Earlier, Indonesian officials coming off a helicopter on Borneo island said they have recovered several bodies floating in waters near where the missing AirAsia flight was last seen. Images on local television showed at least one bloated corpse. The bodies, swollen but intact, were brought to an Indonesian navy ship, National Search and Rescue Director SB Supriyadi told reporters in the nearest town, Pangkalan Bun. The corpses did not have life jackets on. Relatives of passengers began crying hysterically and fainting as the footage was aired. Government security officials carry a family member of passengers onboard missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 after she collapsed at a waiting area in Juanda International Airport, Surabaya, December 30, 2014. (Reuters) At least two distraught family members were carried out on stretchers from the room where they had been waiting for news in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city - the take-off point for the aircraft that disappeared during a storm on Sunday, Agence France-Presse reported. An air force plane also spotted a “shadow” on the seabed believed to be the missing AirAsia jet, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency chief said.

(Reuters) “God blessed us today,” Bambang Soelistyo told a press conference. “At 12:50 the air force Hercules found an object described as a shadow at the bottom of the sea in the form of a plane,” he said. Items resembling an emergency slide, plane door and other objects were spotted during an aerial search in the morning. “We spotted about 10 big objects and many more small white- colored objects which we could not photograph,” Indonesian air force official Agus Dwi Putranto told a press conference earlier on Tuesday. This aerial view taken from an Indonesian search and rescue aircraft over the Java Sea shows floating debris spotted in the search area. (AFP) “The position is 10 kilometers from the location the plane was last captured by radar,” he said. More floating debris spotted in the search area. (AFP) He displayed 10 photos of objects resembling a plane door, emergency slide, and a square box-like object. An AFP photographer on the same flight that spotted the debris said he had seen objects in the sea resembling a life raft, life jackets and long orange tubes. At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters were looking for the jet carrying 162 people, said Indonesia's Search and Rescue Agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo. Most of the craft were Indonesian but Singapore, Malaysia and Australia contributed to the effort. Aircraft from Thailand planned to join Tuesday's search.

It said in a statement that the USS Sampson, a destroyer, which was already on an independent deployment in the Western Pacific, and will arrive in the area later Tuesday. China announced that a navy frigate already on patrol in the South China Sea and aircraft to help the search. Pilot of Navy airplane CN235 M.

(Reuters) Australia said Tuesday it was sending two more Orion aircraft to join the search, bringing Australia's total contribution to three Orions.

(AFP) Minutes later, the jet was gone from the radar without issuing a distress signal. The plane is believed to have crashed into Indonesia's Java Sea, but broad aerial surveys so far have turned up no firm evidence of the missing Airbus A320-200. On Monday, searchers spotted two oily patches and floating objects in separate locations, but it was not known any of it was related to the plane that vanished Sunday halfway into what should have been a two-hour hop from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. The area is a busy shipping lane. Officials saw little reason to believe the flight met anything but a grim fate. Based on the plane's last known coordinates, the aircraft probably crashed into the water and "is at the bottom of the sea," Bambang Soelistyo said Monday. Still, searchers planned to expand their efforts onto land on Tuesday. A storm alone isn't going to bring down a modern plane designed to withstand severe weather. But weather paired with a pilot error or a mechanical failure could be disastrous. Pilots rely on sophisticated weather-radar systems that include a dashboard display of storms and clouds, as well as reports from other crews, to steer around dangerous weather. "A lot more information is available to pilots in the cockpit about weather than it ever was," said Deborah Hersman, former chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. But the technology has limits and sometimes information about storms "can be a little bit stale." Authorities monitor progress in the search for AirAsia Flight QZ8501 in the Mission Control Center inside the National Search and Rescue Agency in Jakarta December 29, 2014. (Reuters) The captain, Iryanto, who like many Indonesians uses a single name, had more than 20,000 flying hours, AirAsia said. People who knew Iryanto recalled that he was an experienced military pilot, flying F-16 fighters before shifting to commercial aviation. His French co-pilot, Remi Plesel, had been in Indonesia three years and loved to fly, his sister, Renee, told France's RTL radio. "He told me that things were going well, that he'd had a good Christmas. He was happy. The rains were starting," she said. "The weather was bad."
