Bodies and Debris from missing AirAsia Flight Wreckage spotted!


CNN – There has been what seems to a grim discovery in the waters off Indonesia early today
– Tuesday, deeming the prospect of family members and loved ones who were aboard the AirAsia Flight QZ8501.

The debris from the plane was spotted about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the aircraft's last known location over the Java Sea, off the coast of Indonesia's Central Kalimantan province on Borneo.
Two bodies were spotted as well, Indonesian navy official Manahan Simorangkir told CNN. The body of a woman was recovered, but large waves have prevented crews from getting to the second body, Simorangkir said.

In a statement by the Indonesian President Joko Widodo told journalists,  "To the relatives, I feel your loss, and all of us pray that all of the families are given the strength and fortitude during this incident,". He then went to meet with families.

"We are sorry to be here today under these tragic circumstances," said Sunu Widyatmoko, head of AirAsia Indonesia. "We would like to extend our sincere sympathies to the family and friends of those on board QZ8501. Our sympathies also go out to the families of our dear colleagues."

Family members burst into tears, dabbing their eyes as officials passed out tissues, while others had phones jammed against their ears. Some sat with their eyes full of tears, hands covering their mouths or heads buried in their hands.
