AirAsia Disaster

Victims of AirAsia Flight 8501 appeared to be holding hands in the water, according to reports from Indonesian search and rescue teams.

Based on what Rahmat, a local fisherman in remote Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, heard and saw, search teams finally located AirAsia Flight 8501.

Indonesian officials said Saturday that they were confident wreckage of AirAsia Flight 8501 had been located after sonar equipment detected four massive objects on the ocean floor.

AirAsia Flight QZ-8501, which crashed last weekend, had bordered “on the edge of logic” before it went down, an expert has said.

In the past few years, Southeast Asian airlines have experienced remarkable growth, driven primarily by the rapid expansion of low-cost carriers, like AirAsia.

A screenshot of the terminal, saying the plane “landed” there is not true. Another plane with the same number and route landed on Monday morning.

Several hours of searching Indonesian waters turned up no sign of an AirAsia plane that disappeared Sunday with 162 people on board in airspace possibly thick with dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning, officials said.

Captain Iriyanto, an Indonesian, and First Officer Remi Emmanuel Plesel were identified as the crew for AirAsia Flight QZ-8501.

Indonesian media reports on Sunday say that there’s reports of a plane crash near Belitung Island.
