Strait Times reports:PANGKALAN BUN/JAKARTA - An Indonesian Navy vessel detected an object suspected to be the tail of AirAsia flight QZ8501 on Friday, Metro TV reported.

If you will excuse a query from a non-pilot... Is it at all likely, if the tail has been found separately from the fuselage, that the separation occurred at altitude? And could such a separation go some way towards explaining the aircraft's behaviour?
