Investigators battle weather in hunt for AirAsia black boxes
International experts with sophisticated acoustic detection gear joined teams scouring the sea for the wreck of an Indonesia AirAsia passenger jet on Friday, but bad weather was again hindering the hunt for the plane's black box flight recorders.
Strong wind and heavy seas have stopped divers from looking for the fuselage of the Airbus A320-200, which went down on Sunday en route from Indonesia's second-biggest city Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people on board.
The Indonesian-led search for the wreck of Flight QZ8501 is centred in the northern Java Sea, off Borneo island, where 10 bodies and pieces of the broken-up plane have been recovered. No survivors have been found.
