Three people killed on AirAsia flight QZ8501 were holding hands when their bodies were spotted in the Java sea off Indonesia, a pilot has claimed. A plane door, a blue suitcase, oxygen tank and the remnants of an emergency slide were among the objects found about 10km from where the plane was last detected on radar. But the most tragic discovery was a corpse floating in the Java Sea about 100 miles off the coast – and search chiefs fully expect none of the 162 passengers and crew on board made it out of the wreckage alive. The grim recovery came as devastated relatives of AirAsia crash victims collapsed in grief and were taken to hospital after an Indonesian television station showed uncensored footage of swollen corpses floating in the sea.
