"We assume the missing jet at the bottom of the sea based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea," Bambang Soelistyo told the media at the Soekarno-Hatta main airport.
It can be expanded based on evaluation, he noted.
Should the projection be true, Indonesia needs to cooperate with other countries to bring the wreckage to the surface, Soelistyo said.
"We still do not have the equipment, we will borrow the devices from other countries," he said.
The official warned that the current may cause the wreckage of the plane to move.

An Indonesian helicopter searching for the missing AirAsia jetliner saw two oily spots in the water Monday, and an Australian search plane spotted objects elsewhere in the Java Sea, but it was too early to know whether either was connected to the aircraft and its 162 passengers and crew...
ReplyDeleteIn any case, officials saw little reason to believe AirAsia Flight 8501 met anything but a grim fate after it disappeared from radar Sunday morning over the Java Sea. Wary of bad weather, one of the pilots had asked to raise the plane's altitude just before it vanished, but was not allowed because another aircraft was in the way.
"Based on the co-ordinates that we know, the evaluation would be that any estimated crash position is in the sea, and that the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea," Indonesia search and rescue chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said............http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/unclear-whether-oil-objects-found-in-sea-linked-to-lost-airasia-jet-1.2164032#ixzz3NHcDXaG4

AirAsia: les objets détectés en mer ne proviennent pas de l'avion disparu ...
DeleteLe vice-président indonésien, Jusuf Kalla, a indiqué lundi que des objets détectés en mer ne provenait pas de l'avion d'AirAsia disparu dimanche entre l'Indonésie et Singapour avec 162 personnes à bord, à la suite d'informations selon lesquelles un avion de surveillance australien aurait découvert quelque chose. Les recherches pour retrouver l'avion de la compagnie malaisienne AirAsia ont repris ce lundi, mais les les autorités indonésiennes ont averti que l'avion était probablement "au fond de la mer".
"Cela a été vérifié et les preuves sont insuffisantes pour confirmer ce qui a été avancé", a déclaré M. Kalla lors d'une conférence de presse à l'aéroport de Surabaya, dans l'est de l'île indonésienne de Java, d'où l'avion avait décollé pour Singapour.

Search operations were suspended for a second night with no trace being discovered Monday of an AirAsia flight that went missing with 162 people on board over Indonesian waters...
ReplyDelete"Our search will stop temporarily and resume tomorrow at six in the morning," the National Search and Rescue Agency’s (Basarnas) operations deputy Sunarbowo -- who like many Indonesians uses only one name -- said in a teleconference broadcast by MetroTV.
Bambang Soelistyo, the head of the agency, said the search would be expanded Tuesday morning.
Explaining that searches have been conducted at seven points so far, he was quoted by Kompas.com as saying, "tomorrow we will add four more sectors, two sectors in West Kalimantan [province] and two others in the southern waters of the Pacific."
Soelistyo said teams would search at least two potential points where an oil slick and an emergency locator signal were detected Monday.
Air Force spokesperson Hadi Tjahjanto had earlier said search teams were checking a report of an oil slick off nearby Belitung island, while an emergency locator signal -- which could not be pinpointed -- had been detected off the south coast of Borneo.....................http://www.aa.com.tr/en/headline/442012--airasia-flight-goes-missing-over-indonesian-waters
