More bodies have been recovered from the Java Sea, five days after AirAsia flight QZ8501 crashed, bringing the total found so far to 30. The Airbus A320 disappeared with 162 people on board while flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore. Operations to recover victims continue but no survivors have been found.
Specialist equipment has arrived to aid the search for the plane itself and its “black box” flight recorders. However officials said it could not be used on Friday because of high waves. The plane is almost certainly at the bottom of the relatively shallow Java Sea. The cause of the crash is not known yet.
