Re: Bodies From AirAsia Flight 8501 That Crashed Into The Java Sea
INDONESIA’S National Search and Rescue Agency chief confirmed that just three bodies have been recovered so far in the search for the AirAsia plane which crashed in the Java Sea, after another official said 40 had been found. “Today we evacuated three bodies and they are now in the warship Bung Tomo,” Bambang Soelistyo told a news conference in Jakarta, adding that they were two women and a man. In a statement, the airline read it “regrets to inform that The National Search and Rescue Agency Republic of Indonesia (BASARNAS) today confirmed that the debris found earlier today is indeed from QZ8501, the flight that had lost contact with air traffic control on the morning of 28th December 2014.” There were 155 passengers on board, with 137 adults, 17 children and 1 infant. Also on board were 2 pilots, 4 cabin crews and one engineer. Meanwhile AirAsia’s Group Executive Officer, Tony Fernandes added he was “absolutely devastated” amid news he was “rushing” to Surabaya to be among the grieving families. Speaking in Indonesia’s second-biggest city of Surabaya after meeting with distraught relatives of some of the 162 passengers, Fernandes said he “apologised profusely” for the accident. “The passengers were on my aircraft and I have to take responsibility for that,” he said, adding that he was focusing on supporting the families. “There is at least some closure as opposed to not knowing what’s happened and holding out hope,” Fernandes told reporters. He said the pilot of the ill-fated plane was “extremely experienced” with 20,000 hours of flying. “There were some very unique weather conditions and let’s wait for the investigation to be concluded.” “This is a very difficult moment for all of us at AirAsia as we await further developments of the search and rescue operations but our first priority now is the wellbeing of the family members of those on-board QZ8501.” |

Poor taste by the way of the newsfeed to show the bloated corpse in the water like that |
