Searchers using sonar equipment have located wreckage from AirAsia
Flight QZ8501 at the bottom of the Java Sea, an Indonesian search and
rescue official said.
At the moment, they still do not know if it is in one piece or broken
up, the official was quoted as saying by a private news channel.
Nearly three days after the Airbus A320-200 went off the radar, its
debris was found yesterday in the Karimata Strait near Pangkalanbun,
Central Kalimantan.
Divers were to be deployed to search for bodies and for the plane's "black box" flight recorders but officials said heavy rain, strong winds and waves of up to 3 metres had forced them to suspend the operation.
