Items resembling an emergency slide, plane door and other objects were spotted during an aerial search Tuesday for missing AirAsia flight 8501, Indonesian officials said.

“We spotted about 10 big objects and many more small white-coloured objects which we could not photograph,” Indonesian air force official Agus Dwi Putranto told a press conference.

“The position is 10 kilometres (six miles) from the location the plane was last captured by radar,” he said.
He displayed 10 photos of objects resembling a plane door, emergency slide, and a square box-like object.

An AFP photographer on the same flight that spotted the debris said he had seen objects in the sea resembling a life raft, life jackets and long orange tubes.

Six bloated bodies and debris seen floating in Indonesian waters Tuesday painfully ended the mystery of AirAsia Flight 8501, which crashed into the Java Sea with 162 people aboard and was lost to searchers for more than two days

I was just coming here to post this. So sad. I hope they are able to recover most if not all bodies so that their families can possibly get some closure. I can't imagine what they are going through.

Plane is in a hangar no doubt

bumping this bc I just read that now some reports are that maybe the plane did land somewhat safely on the water but then sunk bc of bad waves. Would explain the ELT not being triggered(think its somewhat of a tracking beacon) bc there was no destructive damage like a major breakup.

That would be terrible if they survived a plane crash but then died from drowning while waiting for rescue.
