Chaos erupts at airport over TV station footage


SURABAYA: Chaos erupted at Juanda International Airport’s crisis centre here as relatives of the doomed Indonesia AirAsia Flight QZ8501 watched footage on a local TV station which showed a floating body and debris sighted by the Indonesian Search and Rescue team (SAR) in Pangkalan Bun, central Kalimantan.

Wailing, screaming and non-stop crying ensued from the distraught and hysterical next-of-kin.
