Indonesia says finds large dark object presumed to be AirAsia jet

SURABAYA, Indonesia, Dec 31: A sonar image showing a large, dark object under the sea was presumed to be the missing AirAsia plane, an official with Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said today.
‘It’s about 30-50 metres under water,’ said the official,  Hernanto.
Crews are standing by to collect and identify bodies from the plane that crashed on Sunday during bad weather on a flight from Indonesia to Singapore.
‘We are praying it is the plane so the evacuation can be done quickly,’ Hernanto said.
