Six Bodies Found in AirAsia Wreckage

MURKY WATERS

Total is now 59.

Indonesian divers discovered six more bodies, four female and two male, in the wreckage of AirAsia Flight 8501. Turbulence in the Java Sea has made it impossible to enter the aircraft’s body, but calm waters on Thursday enabled rescue crews to return to the site. The number of bodies recovered is now 59, and more than 100 are still missing. The Indonesian government had planned to lift the entire fuselage of the plane from the ocean, though it may reconsider if it appears there are no more bodies in the section.
