PANGKALAN BUN: It's been almost a week since AirAsia flight QZ8501 went missing but recovery teams have yet to locate the black box flight recorders, though they have recovered 30 bodies, including some strapped in their seats, and spotted debris resembling parts of the tail.

Indonesian navy picked up at least five bodies wearing seat belts and found the debris by sonar, Colonel Yayan Sofiyan, commander of the warship Bung Tomo, told MetroTV.
