Breaking News: AirAsia 95% Sure Debris Found is Missing Aircraft

Small debris fields presumably from AirAsia Flight 8501, which disappeared from radar during severe thunderstorms, have been spotted in the Java Sea some twelve miles from the last known contact with the airliner, authorities and Reuters News Agency has reported.

 

The doomed airliner carrying 162 passengers, according to experts, was unable to gain enough lift to climb to the requested 38,000 feet so to bypass the Hurricane force storms that were directly in the flight path from Surabaya Indonesia to Singapore.

Forty bodies, also presumed to be passengers of the lost jet, have been recovered. Families of those on board have been notified of the recovery efforts.  

AirAsia QZ8501 vanished Sunday, mid way into early morning flight. It is the third Malaysian Air disaster of 2014 and the second craft that fell out of the sky with no known reason. Outside or external fault from radicals or terror elements and mechanical failure have been ruled out leaving poor decisions as the cause behind the disaster of QZ8501

This is a developing story.
