The fuselage of the crashed AirAsia Flight QZ8501 has been located in the Java Sea, almost a month after it went missing.
The main part of the jet with one wing attached was found about 1.5km from where the tail section was discovered last
week. The information was confirmed by Singapore’s Defence Minister Ng
Eng Hen who posted pictures taken by a search robot on his Facebook
page.
Searchers located wreckage on the sea floor beginning on3 January, and the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were recovered by 13 January. The devices will help investigators learn what exactly caused the plane carrying 162 people to crash into the sea.
At the moment forty-eight bodies have been recovered from the sea. But more than 100 remain missing and are thought to be inside the fuselage of the plane. However, Indonesian officials said there are no plans to retrieve it yet. Further recovery is in progress.
The crash was the third to strike Asia in 2014 after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing and is yet to be found and MH17 was shot down.
