Live CCTV FOOTAGE: Bodies of AirAsia FLight QZ8501 Victims Spotted At Java Sea Near Indonesia Coast.

More than 40 bodies and debris have been recovered from the Java Sea as crews work at a site off the coast of Kalimantan where the plane went down on Sunday after departing from Surabaya en route to Singapore.

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia: The hunt for a missing AirAsia passenger plane appeared over on Tuesday (Dec 30) as wreckage and dozens of bodies were spotted at sea off Indonesia, prompting raw scenes of emotion from sobbing relatives of the 162 people aboard.

The Airbus A320-200 disappeared en route from Indonesia's second largest city Surabaya to Singapore during a storm early Sunday. All indications now are that it crashed in the Java Sea southwest of the island of Borneo, with debris and dozens of bodies retrieved so far.

An air force plane saw a "shadow" on the seabed believed to be of the missing Flight QZ8501, National Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo told a news conference in Jakarta.

Relatives of the 162 missing hugged each other and burst into tears in Surabaya as they watched footage of one body floating in the sea on a television feed of Soelistyo's press conference.

An Indonesian warship had recovered more than 40 bodies from the sea "and the number is growing", navy spokesman Manahan Simorangkir told AFP shortly afterwards.

AirAsia's chief executive Tony Fernandes expressed his grief over the first fatal incident to hit the region's biggest budget airline. "My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501," Fernandes said on Twitter, adding that he was rushing to Surabaya. Read the full story here.
