What a lovely young family I wonder if they had a separate seat for the infant or if she was flying for free on lap?

Thanks for finding the pics, Snoods. They do look like a lovely young family. So sad that so many promising young lives are just .... gone.


ETA: He said they were discovered Friday on the seabed, still strapped to their seats. Their baby has not yet been found, but the infant's carrier was still attached to the man.

So, there are two sets of pings, quite close to each other, that they are hoping are both of the black boxes.


"The two are close to each other, just about 20 metres (yards),'' Soesilo told reporters. "Hopefully, they are the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder.''

In addition, sonar on Sunday detected a large object in the same vicinity as the pings ...... he's hopeful it's the main section of the Airbus A320's cabin.

"If that is true, then maybe many bodies are still there," he said, adding that divers would be sent in to look.

Many prayers the black box can be safely retrieved from the wreckage.....and hold some answers as to why this tragedy occurred.

It's looking pretty 'official' now that the boxes have been located, they're planning to send divers down to the location.

Just so incredibly sad.......

Praying the baby is found to be reunited with her parents :rose:

With the first black box found, this might be a good spot to start a new thread. Any mods around?

 

[MsFacetious]

I really don't want to think of them doing a safe landing and then to have no survivors. It just seems so cruel. I guess when they get the black boxes...they will know for certain.

Unfortunately they will not know for certain just from the black boxes.
That may tell us why the plane crashed and what those in the pit did, which is part of the puzzle.

But it will not tell us if the flight attendant drowned after deploying the slide.
Or if the half clothed man survived to remove his clothes and drowned later.
Or if the majority of those on the plane survived the impact or not.

We will never know the complete story and picture of what happened here.
We will only ever have bits and pieces, the rest will always be a mystery. :twocents:

PANGKALAN BUN: Indonesian divers on Sunday found the crucial black box flight recorders of the AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea a fortnight ago with 162 people aboard, said the Indonesian Transport Ministry.

"But they failed to retrieve it immediately from the seabed because it was stuck under debris from the main body of the plane, the ministry added.

“The navy divers in Jadayat state boat have succeeded in finding a very important instrument, the black box of AirAsia QZ8501,” said Tonny Budiono, a senior ministry official.

The recorders were at a depth of 30-32 metres (99-106 feet), he said in a statement.

Divers will on Monday try to shift the position of the wreckage to access the black box.

“However, if this effort fails, then the team will lift part of the main body using the same balloon technique used earlier to lift the tail,” Budiono added."

Surely they can get a crane out to sea to pick up the main body of the plane and any remains. There must be a better way than using balloons again surely?

 

[SouthAussie]

Yes, with the extremely minimalist approach to autopsies - a possible 9 out of 162 people - and the way that the wreckage has been treated so far, plus the poor underwater footage due to murkiness, we will never know if the pilot did some heroic manoeuvring and got his ailing, likely weather-beaten plane into such a position that a few/some/many did survive impact.

That emergency slide/raft did not inflate itself.
