Tail of crashed AirAsia plane discovered in Java Sea

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia (AP) - Divers and an unmanned underwater vehicle today spotted the tail of the AirAsia plane that crashed into the Java Sea with 162 people on board, an important finding because the jet's all-important black boxes are located in that part of the aircraft. Powerful currents and murky water continue to hinder the operation, but searchers managed to get a photograph of the debris - about 9 kilometers (nearly 6 miles) from where Flight 8501 lost contact Dec. 28 - after it was detected by an Indonesian survey ship, National Search and Rescue chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo told reporters.
