The wreckage of AirAsia Flight 8501, which disappeared with 162 people onboard while flying from Surabaya in Indonesia, was discovered in the Java Sea this morning. Air traffic controllers lost radar contact with the Airbus A320-200 on Sunday after the pilot requested permission to divert around a storm. And the lengthy search that followed highlights that airliners still cannot be tracked precisely over the sea.
