Large pieces of wreckage found – believed to come from the Air Asia plane – Aftonbladet

Four large pieces of wreckage that is believed to come from the missing Air Asia plane has been sighted in the Java Sea.

At the same time, evidence suggests more that the accident was due to bad weather.

– Climate change means that it is time to discuss new rules, said air safety expert Jan Ohlsson.

During a press conference yesterday announced the Indonesian sea rescue new sonar images taken between Borneo and Sumatra where Air Asia flights QZ8501 with 162 passengers are believed to have crashed last Sunday. The pictures show the likely large debris from the missing aircraft.

So far, four major parts located, one on Friday and three on Saturday.

– The main wreckage section, 18 feet long and 5, 4 meters wide, is probably part of the fuselage, says Henry Bambang Soelistyo, head of the Indonesian maritime search and rescue, according to SVT.

The other parts are said to be upwards of 12 feet in length.

The fuselage estimated to be between 30 and 50 meters deep. So far, 30 bodies salvaged, most are believed to be stuck inside the plane.

“Stronger storms”

The black box has not yet been located, but Indonesia’s weather institute BMKG states that bad weather was probably the main cause of the crash. The plane should have flown into a storm and according to Professor Edwin Aldrian, research director at BMKG, was extremely icy conditions on the high altitude.

– It can stop the aircraft engines and damage the planet’s machinery, says Aldrian according to the BBC.

Jan Ohlsson, aviation security expert and editor of flight magazine Insider Plus, launched directly theory that the accident was due to ice combined with high winds.

He says it increasingly tough weather in the world makes it is time to discuss the new one.

– We get powerful storms that go higher. Flying has its rules and regulations, but if storms become stronger maybe it is worth discussing how close these kinds of storm centers that you should get going. It’s probably not so much a technical issue as to actually stay on longer distance from storms, he said.

Several data suggest that the plane just before it disappeared from radar risen too steep.

– You could have done to the ice got the instruments show wrong information. Then it’s likely that you’ve made a “stable”, ie over stegrat and got nose down and got into an uncontrollable situation, says Jan Ohlsson.

Missing permission

Indonesian Department of Transportation has previously stated that the budget airline Air Asia may not have had a permit for the flight between Indonesia’s second largest city, Surabaya and Singapore.

– We will investigate all Air Asia flight schedules, says Director General Djoko Murdjatmodjo according to Reuters.

– It is possible that Air Asia fly in Indonesia withdrawn.
