AirAsia plane likely at sea bottom (Indonesia search chief)

The AirAsia plane with 162 people on board may have fallen into the bottom of the sea, 24 hours after the jetliner vanished from radar en route from Indonesia to Singapore, said Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency chief in Jakarta Monday.

"We assume the missing jet at the bottom of the sea based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea," Bambang Soelistyo told the media at the Soekarno-Hatta main airport.

It can be expanded based on evaluation, he noted.

Should the projection be true, Indonesia needs to cooperate with other countries to bring the wreckage to the surface, Soelistyo said.

"We still do not have the equipment, we will borrow the devices from other countries," he said.

The official warned that the current may cause the wreckage of the plane to move.

  2. AirAsia: les objets détectés en mer ne proviennent pas de l'avion disparu ...

    Le vice-président indonésien, Jusuf Kalla, a indiqué lundi que des objets détectés en mer ne provenait pas de l'avion d'AirAsia disparu dimanche entre l'Indonésie et Singapour avec 162 personnes à bord, à la suite d'informations selon lesquelles un avion de surveillance australien aurait découvert quelque chose. Les recherches pour retrouver l'avion de la compagnie malaisienne AirAsia ont repris ce lundi, mais les les autorités indonésiennes ont averti que l'avion était probablement "au fond de la mer".

    "Cela a été vérifié et les preuves sont insuffisantes pour confirmer ce qui a été avancé", a déclaré M. Kalla lors d'une conférence de presse à l'aéroport de Surabaya, dans l'est de l'île indonésienne de Java, d'où l'avion avait décollé pour Singapour.

    Quinze bateaux et 30 avions participent aux recherches entamées dimanche, a-t-il ajouté.

  3. Search operations were suspended for a second night with no trace being discovered Monday of an AirAsia flight that went missing with 162 people on board over Indonesian waters...

    "Our search will stop temporarily and resume tomorrow at six in the morning," the National Search and Rescue Agency’s (Basarnas) operations deputy Sunarbowo -- who like many Indonesians uses only one name -- said in a teleconference broadcast by MetroTV.

    Bambang Soelistyo, the head of the agency, said the search would be expanded Tuesday morning.

    Explaining that searches have been conducted at seven points so far, he was quoted by Kompas.com as saying, "tomorrow we will add four more sectors, two sectors in West Kalimantan [province] and two others in the southern waters of the Pacific."

    Soelistyo said teams would search at least two potential points where an oil slick and an emergency locator signal were detected Monday.

    Air Force spokesperson Hadi Tjahjanto had earlier said search teams were checking a report of an oil slick off nearby Belitung island, while an emergency locator signal -- which could not be pinpointed -- had been detected off the south coast of Borneo.....................http://www.aa.com.tr/en/headline/442012--airasia-flight-goes-missing-over-indonesian-waters
