AirAsia flight 8501 went down in the java Sea with 162 passengers and crew on board. Search crews have been out for many days. On the seventh day of searching they recovered additional objects from the plane indicating that they are close to finding the planes main fuselage. The BASARNAS confirmed reports that 30 bodies had been recovered. Five bodies were also found still strapped in their seats.These bodies help zero in on the plane's main structure and presumably its black box data recorders. 22 Indonesian ships and eight from other countries including the U.S. were part of the search effort.A second U.S. naval ship was sent as well as the U.S. deployed a P-8 aircraft and two dive teams to help with this search. The search has been hampered due to the rainy season
The search crew found four large objects in the Java Sea. The largest object appeared to be part of the jet's body. They also found chunks of debris in the target search area.
The Pilot that crashed flight 8501 was the best in his class at flight school.
This crash comes as a shock to most of us. Now knowing that the pilot was the best in his class at flight school, we wonder what happen to him that could make him crash. There is also a question about the airline because there is another story about how a plane over shot the runway. The passengers didn't realize they overshot the runway until they saw grass outside their windows. This is questionable if it was the pilots fault or if there was a malfunction in the aircraft in either scenario. The AirAsia airline is doing all it can to find out everything about the crash.
