Bodies And Debris From AirAsia Flight QZ-8501 Found

Officials have confirmed that bodies and
debris from AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ-8051
were spotted off the coast of the island of
Borneo on Tuesday. UPI reports:
The body of a woman was
recovered but search and rescue
workers failed to recover a second
body due to large waves, CNN
reports .

The bodies will be taken to
hospitals in the city of Surabaya
for identification.
Aircraft debris was found in the
Karimata Strait about 110 nautical
miles south west from the
Pangkalan Bun, AirAsia confirmed.
The shadow of what looked like a
plane and an emergency exit door
appeared to be discovered in the
nearly 100,000 square mile search
zone, Bambang Sulistyo, the head
of Indonesia’s search and rescue
agency, said.
All resources are relocating to
where the debris was located,
about six miles away from the
aircraft’s last known location.
Family members cried and some
fainted as they watched a live
news conference that showed
debris from the plane and what
appeared to be a body.
AirAsia flight QZ-8501 was flying
to Singapore when it disappeared
on Sunday after the pilots
requested a flight plan change due
to bad weather. The plane was
carrying 162 people, mostly
Indonesians.
