Retrieving wreckage from AirAsia Flight To Singapore- no survivors recovered

[jamiect]

A name tag on one of the bodies recovered on Wednesday appears to suggest it is that of 20-year-old trainee flight attendant Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi. Her father spoke to Fairfax Media’s Michael Bachelard.

[h=1]Breaking News: Sonar image of dark object under water presumed to be missing AirAsia plane: Indonesian official[/h]

oh oh, an expert who has done search and salvage in that part of the world is saying hold tight! There are a lot of planes and sunken ships in that area, I assume cause of monsoons over the years, and the sonar may just be painting a different sunk entity

and then i just thought they had been talking about a shadow yesterday, and this object is 2-3 miles away so it does seem a little confusing at this point.

Official: Sonar detects wreckage from AirAsia Flight QZ8501 on sea floor

Indonesian searchers using sonar equipment have located wreckage from AirAsia Flight QZ8501 at the bottom of the Java Sea, a search and rescue official told CNN on Wednesday.
At the moment, they still don't know if it's in one piece or broken up, said the official, Hernato, who goes by one name.

I heard the area has major silt which means if the wreckage was old...it would be down into the silt which would give off a different configuration, imo. I think they are sure this is QZ8501 or they would not have told the families.

I don't know what to say about that. However, it doesn't seem plausible.

I have looked all over Sky news for it and they are only reporting no life jackets were found on the 6 recovered.

The bodies - which were not wearing life jackets - have been brought on board a navy ship, said Indonesia's search and rescue director SB Supriyad.

Nor did reports of the three "holding hands" seem plausible

Yes, Happy New Year everyone! Festivities are just starting here. Hug your loved ones, stay safe. Best wishes for 2015! arty:


And thoughts to those whose New Year is starting in the saddest of ways. :candle:

I guess they could have known the plane had a fault and they were going to have to make an emergency landing so at least some of the passengers may have had a vest on. Obviously the plane could have crashed before the ditch attempt. Hopefully we will find out what happened from the flight data recorders.

Maybe I just don't want to think about them having time to prepare and then be killed in the crash. Yes, the black boxes will tell us what happened and how much time they did have before impact or whatever broke the plane apart.

I'm the same SeriouslySearching I can't think of anything worse and don't want to think they suffered greatly and knew their fate. I had tears in my eyes today watching the distress of the relatives on the news it was very difficult to watch. The only good that can come from this tragedy is that they find out what caused the plane to crash and do everything possible to prevent it happening again.

I was wondering how those life jackets were found floating. Aren't they usually in a little pack that you have to rip open, found under the seat in a pocket? Then shake them wide, slip over your head, secure the straps, pull the little ring to inflate after you leave the plane ...... here's the whistle, here's the little light, here's the mouthpiece to blow in .....


(I've been on a lot of over-the-water flights.)

I am hoping the story isn't true. We have heard a lot of confusing news that turned out to be false.

I kept thinking about the seat cushions that are also flotation devices too (((hold onto the straps))) and I wondered if those were the ''white'' dots in the water MOO

Yep …..just peel down the side to release. I know this might sound stupid - some people who have a fear of flying will put their life jacket on just for the hell of it.
