Indonesian officials have 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.
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.
