So far 59 bodies have been recovered from Indonesia AirAsia Flight QZ8501, which plunged into the Java Sea with 162 people while en route from Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, to Singapore.
Rescuers are still struggling to lift the fuselage and what appears to be the plane’s cockpit from the seabed at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet).--AFP
