World. We begin with word that season noor has detected objects believed to be areas of flight 8501 on the bottom of the java sea. Its still not known if the airbus is in the sea or underwater. First of the two bodies are being transported to say are bayh for possible identification. Right now, dozens of ships and planes are combing the area in what is now a grim search and recovery operation. Investigators hope theyre a step closer to finding the flight data recorders, the socalled black boxes, that could help them determine exactly what brought the plane down. Cnns gary tuchman live on the phone from indonesia, gary. Reporter were at a Naval Air Base here in sewer bayh the first two bodies the first two victims have just arrived. The military plane carrying them from borneo island. They just landed here at this Naval Air Base. And theres a procession of navy men and women carrying the caskets with flowers on top.

The hearses gary tuchman on the phone for us from say arein sewersuria surabaya. Joining us now via skype from fromsuria bayh. A lot of work to do even as the families grieve and hope for some i dont know some clarity on whether their loved ones have been found, david. Reporter hi christine. A long grim task as you put it ive just been to the Police Hospital where presumably the hearses will be driven once the human remains are loaded off the plane and off the tarmac there at the base. And outside, on the hospital grounds, about a dozen members of the dvi, the disaster victims identification unit will be there outside the grounds to what appear to be shipping containers refrigerated shipping containers where the remains will be stored before taken indoors or under tents on hospital grounds. Just a stark in your face reminder of the human tragedy here. Dozens of gurneys being prepared to receive victim who will then undergo the formal identification process. Now, just next door to the hospital where we were Police Headquarters for java that will become the new Crisis Center here for family members. So families of the 162 passengers and crew on board that flight invited to come make themselves at home. Meet caregivers for religious officials, and that will be where they receive updates from officials. Theyll be able to monitor news on giant monitors put up in the auditorium. I have to tell you, christine, just talking to some of the family members, one gentleman in particular who lost four relatives including two granddaughters on the way to singapore for holiday, said the best we can hope for is that their remains are returned. Certainly a grim task ahead. We wish the families the best and pray for them. David malco, thank you so much in indonesia. As we mentioned bad weather stalling the search in the java sea. They have located the wremage using sonar. And now comes the difficult task of trying get in there. Meteorologist Pedram Javaheri has more. Pedram . Christine, you know the christians s conditions are going to go from bad to worse. We have 45 minutes to an hour of daylight left in this place. Thermal signature, essentially the temperatures atop the cloud tops the darker they are, the higher the clouds are, the stronger the thunderstorms are. And to the northern location of the debris location. Plenty of cloud cover to the south as well. The concern builds over the next 24 hours. Look at the active system in place there. Strong thunderstorms accompanied by powerful winds. A repeat performance come friday in this area with very active thunderstorms coming across this area. And finally see them improve through friday night. My biggest concerns are the winds shoshted with this. Around 3 00 in the afternoon or so. Were looking at winds 65 to maybe 65 Miles Per Hour across the sea field. Notice the java sea, youll have that shade of dark red, of course it falls right in across the debris area. So you take that wind into consideration what would translate into the wave heights across the open waters. That is somewhere between 18 and 25foot wave heights into tomorrow afternoon across this debris field. The currents in this area typically at the rate of 1mileperhour and youre looking at 80 miles of movement over the past couple days. As the debris field scatters about with the winds wed expect. One of the first areas youd think it would be on to would be some of the coastal regions of borneo. Its a very marshy landscape here. If this debris field scatters about, the Recovery Efforts become that more challenging as we head into the weekend. Pedram javaheri thank you so much. You, that the wreckage has been located investigators are a step closer to retrieving the socalled black boxes and finding out what caused exactly the plane to crash. Theyll be able to hear the last minutes of the crew on the flight deck. Theyll also see whats happening on the instruments. Based on what we do know we asked aviation expert captain desmond ross what may have hapted to flight 8501. Heres what he told us. Youve got two choices, really the aircraft in High Altitude or it arrives at the surface of the water still impact and an attempt to land it. Or it went straight in nose first. In either case the aircraft would not remain intact even if it landed at a level altitude theres no way its going to remain intact given the waves the that speed, well in excess of 100 knots. Even if some kind of control would have hit the waves, 100, 150 knots, the aircraft would break up. The water is basically like concrete at that speed. So im a little puzzled with how why the aircraft struck that point. Im also particularly puzzled having seen some of the raw images taken by the searchers yesterday, one of the bodies in particular two i think that i spotted, were not clothed. And this to me indicating that theyd fallen. Its quite a common occurrence when a body falls through space, through the air, it reaches a total velocity that is very high. 200 miles an hour, maybe more. That speed, the wind drag will tend to remove loose clothing. Jackets, shirts. Ladies dresses. At that speed, which explains why the clothing was gone. Given ive seen two of those i wonder how that happen did in fact that fall from great altitude. Did something manage to open the door or did the aircraft try to break up at some altitude. Relatives of the 162 people on board that flight are dealing with unimaginable grief. Just hours after the crash was confirmed, airasia Ceo Tony Fernandes delivered a heartfelt apology. Only benefit for people in there there some closure. This is a scar for me for the rest of my life. It doesnt change anything. But with very little there is at least some closure, as opposed to not knowing whats happened and holding out hope. He has been tackling airasia first major crisis head on as chief executive. Soon as the plane disappeared the ceo took to twitter. Earlier fernandes posted that seeing the evacuees has been so destroying. And soon after the plane had disappeared, the Company Changed its logo from red to gray on its social media sites. Fernandes is no stranger to tough challenges. Back in 2001 he bought that Failing Company for a token 25 cents. The air carrier had two airplanes and 11 million in debt. He bought it for a quarter. Now airasia is the largest lowcost carrier in the region. Airasia had its biggest decline in more than three years. For the year the stock is still up. Airasia one of those airlines synonymous with the big growth in travel over the past years.

Griefstricken families were informed of the news by indonesian officials. Overnight, the body of a seventh victim was retrieved from the water. Its still not known if the plane is in one piece or broke up while it crashed. Right now, this search and recovery operation involving dozens of ships, dozens of planes is being hampered by bad weather. Publicly the Obama Administration is still blaming north korea for the cyberattack on Sony Pictures and says it is likely they had help. But cybersecurity experts are now telling the fbi that it is possible the big sony hack may have been an inside job. We get more from cnns pamela brown. Well good morning, christine, fbi officials weve been speaking with are adamant that the initial assessment that was publicly revealed that noshlg korea and solely north korea is behind the hack is still the case. Officials say theyre view has not changed. Even after fbi agents in st. Louis met with cyberexperts with the Security Firm called norse. And this firm launched its own investigation, and they claim they found evidence that it was actually an insider job. That a disgruntled sony employee who had been with the company for ten years and was let go last may was actually the one who used the administrative credentials to take overt sony system. And actually played a role with the hackers who called themselves guardians of peace. But the fbi officials weve been speaking with say that what they presented was essentially misinterpreted. That it was just a narrow part of the investigation. This was not the company in the private sector that was brought in to help with the investigation. So this company was not on the frontlines of what was going on. So fbi Officials Say the conclusion they reached was from not only their own intelligence but as intelligence from other agencies within the Intelligence Community and the u. S. As well as the department of Homeland Security and foreign partners. And the fbi did lay out part of their case about why they reached the conclusion they did. But were told that that was just the tip of the iceberg. As this investigation continues, the fbi could release even more information backing up their case. Christine.
