Bodies and debris recovered from missing AirAsia plane 

After more than two full days of searching for missing AirAsia Flight 8501, Indonesian officials confirmed the worst: The passenger airline likely crashed in the Java Sea.

Rescuers located wreckage, several bodies and debris from the plane in the choppy sea off the coast of Borneo on Tuesday, near the area where the jetliner last had contact with air traffic control, the Associated Press reports.
