Indonesian search officials have now confirmed
they have located the fuselage of AirAsia flight
8501 on sonar radar, upside down on the sea
floor, not far from where three of the bodies from
the doomed AirAsia flight were found holding
hands when discovered floating in the Java Sea.
Officials from Basarnas, Indonesia's search and
rescue agency, say the plane wreckage has been
located in 24 to 30 metres of water and one of
the seven confirmed recovered bodies was
wearing a life jacket.
Lieutenant Airman Tri Wobowo, who was co-
piloting Indonesia's C130 Herclues aircraft, was
the first to discover debris from the plane and
witnessed the tragic scene.
'There were seven to eight people. Three of them
held hands,' he told a local newspaper.
A plane door, a blue suitcase, oxygen tank and
the remnants of an emergency slide were among
the objects found about 10km from where the
plane was last detected on radar. But the most
harrowing discoveries were the corpses floating
in the Java Sea - about 100 miles off the coast -
and search chiefs fully expect none of the 162
passengers and crew on board made it out of
the wreckage alive.
