Two days after the AirAsia flight QZ8501was declared missing, the bodies and
debris of the ill-fated flight were seen floating on the sea.

According to Associated Press, the bodies of several victims have been
recovered from the missing AirAsia flight, the Indonesian Navy said. Objects
resembling parts of the plane, as well as what was thought to be the plane’s
outline underwater, were seen in the search area.

“There was a man swaying on the waves. After I looked at the photo carefully
on my laptop, I understood it was a human body,” a lieutenant of the
Indonesian Air Force told local media.

The bodies so far found have been brought to an Indonesian Navy ship,
National Search and Rescue Director Supriyadi disclosed. The corpses were
swollen, but intact, and did not have life jackets on, he said, as cited by AP.
Several family members of missing passengers burst into tears or fainted when
they saw footage of bodies floating in the water. These came after objects that resemble an emergency slide, plane door, and a square box-like item have been spotted 10km from the last position of the missing AirAsia jet, according to Indonesian authorities.

Reuters reported that red and white debris spotted off the coast of Indonesia's
part of Borneo island is likely to be part of AirAsia flight QZ8501, an Indonesian
transport official said on Tuesday.
Media quoted an air force official as saying a suspected body, luggage and a
life vest were among the debris.
"As we approached, the body seemed bloated," said First Lieutenant Tri
Wibowo, who was on board a Hercules during the search operation, was quoted by the Kompas.com website as saying.
The sighting of the body was not confirmed.

"The debris is red and white," Djoko Murjatmodjo, acting director general of air
transportation at the transport ministry, told reporters. "We are checking if it's
debris from the aircraft. It's probably from the body of the aircraft."
Based on the size and appearance of the debris, it was likely to be part of the
missing jet, Murjatmodjo added.
There have been no confirmed sightings of any wreckage of the missing plane.
Most of those on board were Indonesian.
Indonesia's Kompas TV showed pictures of what looked like large, angular
objects floating in the sea. The largest appeared to be several metres long.
