    SEARCH teams looking for the crashed AirAsia jetliner have found bodies still strapped in their seats and debris resembling parts of the tail, as they deployed sonar and pinger locators to seek the plane's data recorders.

    The Indonesian navy picked up the bodies wearing seat belts and found the debris by sonar, said army colonel Yayan Sofyan in an interview on Metro TV on Friday. The tail is the location for the flight data recorder which, together with the cockpit voice recorder, is known as the black box.
