Indonesian search officials have now confirmed they have
located the fuselage of AirAsia flight 8501 on sonar radar, upside down on the
sea floor.
It comes amid revelations from a pilot involved in the search, that three
people killed on the AirAsia flight were holding hands when their bodies were
spotted floating in the sea.Lieutenant Airman Tri Wobowo, who co-piloted the C130
Hercules aircraft that first saw debris of the plane on Tuesday, said‘There are seven to eight people. Three [of them] again hold
hands.’The chief of Indonesia's search and rescue agency,
Bambang Sulistyo, said that two males had been recovered, along with one female
who was wearing a flight attendant uniform. Officials from Basarnas, Indonesia's search and rescue
agency, say the plane wreckage has been located in 24 to 30 metres of water.Before darkness fell in the area, search teams had also identified a shadow that
they believed to be the plane's fuselage. Many of the remaining victims are
thought likely to still be on board the aircraft.
