Tail found
The tail of AirAsia Flight 8501 has been found in the Java Sea, the head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency said Wednesday.
Bambang Soelistyo, chief of the rescue agency, known as BASARNAS, told reporters at a news conference that tail numbers were visible on wreckage. Finding the tail is significant because it may contain the plane's data recorders.
The announcement comes after the USS Fort Worth, a littoral combat ship assisting with the search for the wreckage, spotted objects that could be pieces of debris from the Airbus A320
