Search for flight 8501. Authorities consider the red box on your screen the most probable area for the wreckage. It is 1,575 square nautical miles or twice the size of lux luxemborg. Lets go to indonesia and david joins us now. David, a lot to get to first, but the Victim Recovery and identification process. More remains have been identified. What can you tell us . Reporter an absolutely heart breaking afternoon here in surabaya outside the Crisis Center and police hospital. A short time ago, three additional victims of the crash of flight 8501 were identified here. Let me read their names. Grace herbert. Kevin alexander. The third is haider. She was one of the flight attendants on the flight. The first crew member from the airasia that has been identified. I had the chance earlier this morning, a few hours ago before the identification to sit down with her parents, her mother and father in their hotel. As they were waiting this agonizing long wait. Six days after the plane took off. Four days into the search and rescue for identification and news. They were remarkably strong. We were looking at photos of her on her instagram account. They were pointing and smiling and laughing and sharing memories about her. Her mother said she was doing what she loved. She loved to fly. Right in the middle of the chat we got a call. The escort and airasia escort was there. The call that no parent ever wants to get to come here to Police Headquarters and identify their daughters remains. And so that happened. It took a few hours. Just a few moments ago, those remains were handed over to her family in a ceremony. Certainly a somber afternoon here in surabaya. Very somber afternoon. Absolutely heart breaking to learn of this development and see the photos of the beautiful young woman. Such an agonizing wait for her family members and other families still waiting for answers. What can you tell us more about the search and new focus of the search. Reporter thats right. Still 158 more families waiting for answer. 14 bodies recovered as you mentioned. They managed to narrow the search zone to a priority area. A bit smaller and gives them a bit of an idea of where they will look based on where they picked up bodies and debris. It is a huge area. It will take some time. We think there are about 90 ships and planes trolling the waters. Weather playing a big factor here still. Waves up to 2 to 3 meters. Cloud cover. You know not making it difficult for ships, but certainly make it difficult, if not impossible for divers to get in the water. Although the search is ongoing, it still could be a large amount of time. Maybe days perhaps weeks before they find the bulk of the aircraft and recover the rest of the passengers. David, you mentioned 90 vessels taking part in the massive search and recovery effort. What International Teams are there to help and bolster the search . Reporter this is really an international effort. You have indonesia involved as the major leader of the search as the airline of course. As well as the bulk of the passengers from here. More than 150 from indonesia. You have malaysia singapore, japan, south korea, the United States all contributing to the search effort. U. S. Destroyer is in place and we are also hearing that they are starting the process by looking for the black boxes or listening to the black boxes. Last year march, april, we were talking about the Malaysia Airline mh370. They were using towing devices to try to listen for the sound. A very specific frequency that comes out of the black boxes. Our understanding from malaysian and indonesian certifysearchers is that is now beginning and we will see what yields in the days ahead. A lot of challenges. David molko reporting for us in surabaya indonesia. Thank you. Still a few days before the weather improves or that search zone in the java sea. Meteorologist ivan cabrera has more. Ivan very challenging conditions. Challenging and impossible. You cannot have divers going into 50 foot waves. That will not happen here. They will have to be on stand by on the ships and as weather clears there will be brief windows of that. Maybe they can get some work done. Take a look at the satellite. This is a 24hour loop. Theres the java sea. You can barely see it behind me as the thunderstorm activity basically blossoms here and takes over the region here. There have been a few breaks however, the timing has not worked out. The breaks have occurred at night. The visibility is not going to be there for them. Theres the box and we will continue to monitordayitor that. We will still have waves of showers and thunderstorms. This is the rainy season. It does not get wetter than december and january. The monsoon season in the java sea and indonesia. Saturday 12 00 local, we continue to see a few breaks. By the time we get into saturday afternoon, this is the best time. We will have daylight and better visibility i think, for part of the day on saturday before the next wave begins to move in. By sunday we are back in to very heavy showers and thunderstorms here. Weather is going to continue to play a role throughout the process as we have been talking about here. Not through the weekend, but continuing into next week as we still have in the forecast some very heavy thunderstorms for the region. As you mentioned, the critical break in the weather. Thank you for the forecast. Ivan cabrera, take care. Only a handful of the 162 passengers and crew on board airasia flight 8501 have been pulled from the waters of the java sea. Another search vessel is due to head out to the site where authorities believe the plane and more victims will be found. Divers are on board, but as paula newton reports, Recovery Efforts will hinge on the weather. Reporter down here in the port on the west coast of borneo. Preparations are underway for one of the search vessels to head out and try to locate some of those bodies and also debris. This is a police boat. It will have search and rescue on board. Some of the divers are going to be on board. They have been out a couple of times, but many of them say they could not get into the water. It was simply too dangerous. Today, they know they have waves of four meters or 13 feet high. This is too dangerous for them to get in. One diver said he would be giving up his life if he tried to do that. Frustrated. Sometimes they have to wait for a break in the weather to bring closure to those distraught families. Paula hancocks cnn, from the port in indonesia. As families of the victims wait word, they are getting support in surabaya. Now one of the counselors is here joining us. Thank you for joining us here at cnn. It is now six days after the disaster. How are the families coping . Yes. Right now, families are dealing with different crises. Several of them already received the remains of their loved ones. At least four families have. Some of them still hoping that they can find the remains of their loved ones as they are still in the Crisis Center. They want to really grieve once they have the remains of their family members. But there is still anxiety and hope they can find a body of their loved ones. I can only imagine that a number of victims have been identified but many many scores more remain missing. How do you support these families during this difficult and excruciating wait . At least for today in the headquarters we have two teams. The psychologists that assists the families through the post mortem process. We try to assist them once the body comes to the hospital. We assist them through the process until the burial. Some of the families already have quite social support. They dont require help from psychologists. There are some families who also ask for assistance from psychologists. The second team we still are in the Crisis Center giving support for the families especially as we wait and we will provide families in need for psychological support such as calming down techniques like relaxation and calming techniques through consultation. It is good to hear the families have social and professional support. Are there family members still clinging to the hope that some of those on board the plane may have survived . Sorry. Can you repeat the last part again . Are there still family members who are still waiting for answers, still clinging to the hope that their loved ones may have survived . Yes, yes. Most of them in the Crisis Center their families still have hope that they will find the body of their loved ones. They really hope that the search teams will work really hard to find the remains of their loved ones in the sea. However, we understand that as time goes by we also want to assist this family to have a more realistic hope there are some that may be achieved but some we have to stay close with reality that there are some who may not be recovered. I need to inform you that in indonesia, families have great social support from the communities from the people surrounding and from the volunteers here. We have volunteers from psychologists and psychiatrists and really just leaders here. With that kind of support, we assist families to go through the grief process. There is a complete web of emotional and social and spiritual support there for the victims families. We will leave it at that. Thank you so much. You do important work. Thank you for offering psychological and emotional support to the victims families there. Take care. You are watching cnn. After the break, we remember one of americas finest orders.

His appearance led some Party Faithful to wonder if cuomo wanted to be president himself. They said will you think about it. I will think about it. Are you going think about it anymore . Ill try, sam, to keep it out of my mind. Reporter it was that indecisiveness that frustrated democrats, especially those on the more liberal end and garnered cuomo the nickname hamlet on the hudson. Ultimately cuomo decided not to run. It has everything to do with my job as governor. I dont see i can do both. I will not pursue the presidency.

In 1983 he passed a chance to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Choosing to run for a fourth term as governor. It would have been wonderful to be a Supreme Court justice in many ways. It was more important to me to try to run and win again. I thought i could serve better as governor than as a Supreme Court justice. Reporter but cuomo lost that race to george pataki. He later said after 12 years, voters were just ready for a change. The constant in his life were faith and family. Cuomo was catholic and married for over six decades to the love of his wife ma tilda. Then his children maria and andrew who followed in his fathers footsteps as well as journalist and cnn anchor chris cuomo. He hosted a radio show and returned to the private sector as attorney and author and speak out for party he loved and causes he held close to his heart. Asked once how he wanted to be remembered.
