An Indonesian official says objects have been spotted in the
sea by a search plane hunting for the missing AirAsia jet.
Jakarta's Air Force base commander Rear Marshal Dwi Putranto
said he was informed on Monday an Australian Orion aircraft had detected
suspicious objects near Nangka island, about 160 kilometres south-west of
Pangkalan Bun, near central Kalimantan.It is 1,120 kilometres from the location where the plane
lost contact. 'However, we cannot be sure whether it is part of the
missing AirAsia plane,' Rear Marshall Putranto said.'We are now moving in that direction, which is in cloudy
conditions.'
It comes after aviation experts said the flight was flying
'about 160 km/h too slow' when it encountered bad weather conditions.
