JAKARTA: Family members broke down in uncontrollable sobs when news trickled in that debris and at least six bodies were being recovered from waters where the AirAsia plane carrying their loved ones had crashed.

Seconds later Group CEO of AirAsia Tony Fernandes tweeted, “My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501.

“On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am.”

“I am rushing to Surabaya. Whatever we can do at Airasia we will be doing.”

The AirAsia plane travelling from Surabaya to Singapore lost contact with air traffic control Sunday morning with 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia, France and Britain on board.

A massive search and rescue effort was mounted with approximately 30 ships and 21 aircraft from Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea covering up to 10,000 square nautical miles. Indonesia was leading the effort.
