The officials confirmed that the all the fuselage belongs to Air Asia Flight QZ8501 having 162 passengers took the flight.

Here’s the key information about where things stand:

The flight

As it we already know that Flight QZ8501 took off early Sunday (28^th December 2014) from Surabaya, Indonesia, its destination being Singapore. Around 30-35 minutes later, the pilot asked air traffic control for permission to change some of the directions so that taking left it can reach the higher altitude where it can avoid bad weather. Minutes later, the plane disappeared from air traffic control’s radar.

Now the main Question is what happened on board after the plane lost contact??? No distress call was received. Indonesian aviation authorities have suggested that the plane ascended to a higher altitude despite permission being denied because of traffic.

Some experts have speculated that the aircraft might have experienced an aerodynamic stall because of a lack of speed or from flying at too sharp an angle to get enough lift. Analysts have also suggested that the pilots might not have been getting information from onboard systems about the plane’s position, or that rain or hail from thunderstorms in the area could have damaged the engines.

The plane was carrying 155 passengers and 7 crew members. The majority of those passengers were Indonesians. There were also citizens of Britain, France, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea. The Indonesian authorities are trying their best to find all the bodies from the Java Sea. Many of the families are still waiting for any news of their loved one at Surabaya airport.

The investigation

The aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, commonly known as black boxes is the key to understand what actually happened. They are the important part of the real story. It’s not yet confirmed that in the flight fuselage that these boxes are found or not. If they are recovered, Indonesian authorities will designate which agency should open and download the information. The black boxes, which are actually orange, are located in the tail for Airbus 320-200s.

For more information, Investigators will need to use information gleaned from the flight recorders, but also clues from the wreckage itself.

“The more bits I can put into my mosaic, the better my picture will be,” says aviation safety expert Michael Barr. “The better the picture, the better I can come up with an understanding of what happened.” But the conditions at sea make that work much more difficult than on land. “In the water, you are working with currents, and winds, and so the pieces won’t be where they had the initial impact.”
