Wreckage of Airasia aircraft found
It's looking more like an attempted ditch since some of the bodies were still in their seats.
I suspect that the majority of the bodies are still in the fuselage.
They had no chance in that weather.

Indonesian officials were hopeful Saturday that they were homing in on the wreckage of AirAsia Flight 8501 after sonar equipment detected two large objects on the ocean floor, nearly a week after the plane went down in stormy weather.
Teams equipped with a remote-operated vehicle were battling high waves and strong currents as they tried to capture images of the suspected chunks of the plane for confirmation, said Henry Bambang Soelistyo, chief of the National Search and Rescue Agency.
An Indonesian navy ship detected the objects early Friday, and searchers later zoomed in with a Geological Survey vessel to take dimensions
One of the objects was measured at 9.4 meters by 4.8 meters (31 feet by 15 feet) and half a meter (20 inches) high. The other, found nearby, was 7.2 meters by half a meter (24 feet by 20 inches).
"I'm confident this is part of the AirAsia plane," Soelistyo said.
