(deep condolences and pray for all the victims of Air Asia Indonesia) After three days of intense searching, Indonesian officials say they think theyve found debris from AirAsia Flight QZ 8501 in the waters off the island of Borneo. Objects spotted in the sea are 95% likely to be from the plane that went missing Sunday with 162 people on board, Bambang Sulistyo, the head of Indonesias search and rescue agency, said Tuesday. A search team on a plane spotted the shadow of an object that looked like a plane in the water. Further searching discovered floating objects believed to be the bodies of passengers, and then what appeared to be an emergency exit of the plane, Sulistyo told a news conference.
