Moscow-led trade bloc begins in troubled times-Associated Press-By JIM HEINTZ-jan 2,15-yahoonews

MOSCOW (AP) — The Eurasian Economic Union, a trade bloc of former Soviet states, expanded to four nations Friday when Armenia formally joined, a day after the union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan began. The Russian-dominated bloc has been politically controversial and its early days are being overshadowed by the sharp deterioration of Russia's economy in recent months.

A look at the bloc, its implications and its prospects:

WHY CREATE A UNION?

The union aims to create a single integrated market for the free movement of goods and services over a total population of more than 180 million people, something like the 28-nation European Union. Unlike the EU, the bloc does not have a single currency, but is expected to try to establish one at some point. The former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan is expected to join by mid-year and Tajikistan is also a prospective member. Moscow pushed hard for Ukraine to join, hoping its 45 million people and large-scale heavy industries would be a key piece of the trading bloc. But many Ukrainians detested the idea, seeing it as Russian President Vladimir Putin's attempt to reconstitute the Soviet Union and exert more influence on their country. The issue was key to inciting protests that eventually drove Ukraine's Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych from office in February. Ukraine has since signed an agreement to deepen ties with the EU.Although the EEU is nominally only a trade bloc, its economic heft could be a "soft power" political lever for Moscow.

TOUGH TIMES FOR MEMBERS

The bloc's formation culminates nearly a decade's drive by Russia, whose fortunes have changed sharply over the past year. Once an economy luxuriating in a cornucopia of oil and gas revenues, the collapse of world oil prices in 2014 has left Russia suddenly vulnerable. Added to that is the effect of Western sanctions against Russia for its annexation of Crimea and its support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. Most painfully, the sanctions deny Russian businesses access to Western credit markets. The ruble also lost about 45 percent of its value against the dollar in 2014.The ruble's decline in value is likely to have serious consequences for the other countries in the bloc. "Russia's economic troubles are already creating problems for currencies, inflation levels, remittances and trade patterns in the new economic bloc," the U.S.-based Stratfor analysis group wrote.The problems are especially visible in Belarus, which has largely retained a Soviet-style command economy. As the Russian ruble tanked, Belarus feared a run on its own banks and imposed a 30 percent fee on foreign currency transactions.Kazakhstan, too, is largely dependent on revenues from hydrocarbons and raw materials and the worldwide decline in commodities prices could bite sharply. Armenia's economy is comparatively underdeveloped and the benefits it can derive from the trade bloc may be undercut by the fact it is not contiguous with the other members.

POLITICAL TENSIONS IN THE BLOC

Both Kazakhstan and Belarus appear worried about Russia's dominance of the trade bloc for political reasons. Putin and other Russian officials have justified the annexation of Crime and its support for Ukraine's separatist rebels partly on the grounds that these areas were once part of the Russian empire. But both Kazakhstan and Belarus did not exist as independent states before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has resisted Russian attempts to win control of his country's economic assets, warning Russia "if you try to hurt us, we won't tolerate that. We aren't puppies to be taken on a leash."Lukashenko and Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev last month made back-to-back visits to Kiev in which they expressed support for Ukraine."Both Kazakhstan and Belarus want to distance themselves from Russian policies in Ukraine ... Naturally, none of this helps to consolidate the EEU," Carnegie Moscow Center analyst Alexey Malashenko wrote in a commentary.

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-21
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

Russia calls for EU talks with newly born Eurasian Union-Today @ 11:48-jan 2,15-yahoonews-By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - Russia’s EU ambassador has urged Brussels to launch talks with the newly born Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) despite the Ukraine crisis.Vladimir Chizhov told EUobserver: “Our idea is to start official contacts between the EU and the EAEU as soon as possible. [German] chancellor Angela Merkel talked about this not long ago. The EU sanctions [on Russia] are not a hinder”.“I think that common sense advises us to explore the possibility of establishing a common economic space in the Eurasian region, including the focus countries of the Eastern Partnership [an EU policy on closer ties with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine]"."We might think of a free trade zone encompassing all of the interested parties in Eurasia”.He described the new Russia-led bloc as a better partner for the EU than the US, with a dig at health standards in the US food industry.“Do you believe it is wise to spend so much political energy on a free trade zone with the USA while you have more natural partners at your side, closer to home? We don’t even chlorinate our chickens”, the ambassador said.The treaty establishing the Eurasian Union entered into life on Thursday (1 January).It includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia, with Kyrgyzstan to join in May.Modelled on the EU, it has a Moscow-based executive body, the Eurasian Economic Commission, and a political body, the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, where member states’ leaders take decisions by unanimity.It has free movement of workers and a single market for construction, retail, and tourism.Over the next 10 years, it aims to create a court in Minsk, a financial regulator in Astana and, possibly, to open Eurasian Economic Commission offices in Astana, Bishkek, Minsk, and Yerevan.It also aims to launch free movement of capital, goods, and services, and to extend its single market to 40 other sectors, with pharmaceuticals next in line in 2016.Ukraine was originally to join, but a popular revolt last year overthrew its Russia-friendly president and its new government signed a free trade treaty with the EU instead.The developments prompted Russia to invade Ukraine and the EU and US to impose sanctions on Russia.They also prompted the EU and US to accelerate talks on their own free trade treaty to strengthen Western ties.Russia’s Chizhov said neither the sanctions nor the slump in oil prices and the resulting crash in the value of the rouble will harm the Eurasian project.“Russia has been wise enough to build substantial reserves to withstand the external pressure”, he noted.“The situation with the rouble will be remedied. And we have to see the future of financial and energy markets in the long term. They are of no doubt in favour of Russia and Kazakhstan particularly”.He pointed out that EU-US economic relations have an equally volatile history.“Look at the currency rate of the euro compared with the dollar now and a year ago. Do you remember how many times the dollar was devalued since the 1960s? Do you remember when French president Charles De Gaulle in those days sent a ship loaded with US dollars to America to change them into gold? And what was Washington’s reaction?”.The Russian ambassador also played down tensions with Belarus and Kazakhstan.

With friends like these …

Its two partners are said to have been spooked by Russia’s assault on Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
They have profited from Russia’s ban on EU food imports by illegally re-exporting EU products to Russia.The rouble crisis has also seen Belarus reimpose customs controls on the Russian border and has seen Belarus and Kazakhstan demand that Russia pays for trade in dollars despite the Eurasian initiative.Looking at Belarus, Chizhov said it “remains a close trusted partner … with which we share a deep common historical, cultural and linguistic heritage, a vibrant trade and economic relationship as well as an extensive matrix of social ties”.Asked by EUobserver if Russia’s actions in Ukraine caused mistrust, he replied: “To date we have received no signals from our Belarusian partners on concerns related to your question”.But for his part Steven Pifer, until recently the US ambassador to Ukraine, disagreed.Pifer, now an analyst at Brookings, a Washington-based think tank, told the Boston NPR broadcaster on Thursday the main goal of the Eurasian Union is to extend Russian control over its nieghbours.“They [Russia] are looking at it not just in economic terms but as a way to expand Russian influence in the region … by creating institutions which will give Moscow more influence in Kazakhstan and Belarus”, he said.“Belarus and Kazakhstan have become much more wary about Russia in the aftermath of Russian agression in Ukraine”, he added.“My guess is both Kazakhstan and Belarus, while they see certain advantages to economic aspects of the union, they also have worries they don’t get pulled into Russian policies with which they disagree”.

France to fight racism and anti-Semitism in 2015-Today @ 09:28-jan 2,14-euobserver-By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - French leader Francois Hollande has joined German chancellor Angela Merkel in a warning against racism in his New Year speech.In a televised address on Wednesday (31 December) focused largely on the economy, Hollande spoke of defending French values in the face of new social devisions.He spoke out against stigmatising any single religion and defended the ideals of secularism and the dignity of women."It's when France forgets its principles that it loses itself," he said.“I am making the fight against racism and anti-Semitism a national priority".He added that France cannot forget its history, in reference to the deportation of Jews to German extermination camps during the second world war.France has some of the largest Jewish and Muslim populations in Europe. Both communities are subjected to slurs and violence.But last year’s Israeli military operation against Gaza provoked a backlash against the Jewish community in France.The operation, which killed over 2,000 people, sparked street protests and is said to have contributed to a rise in attacks against Jewish targets after a fall in 2013.France had recorded a 31 percent decline from 2012 (614) to 2013 (423) in the number of anti-Semitic actions and threats, according to France’s National Consultative Commission on Human Rights.It notes that while Jews represent less than 1 percent of the French population, 40 percent of racist violence perpetrated in France in 2013 targeted Jews.The most affected regions include Ile-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur, and Rhone-Alpes.The commission also says racist attacks against other minorities like the Roma, blacks, and France's large Muslim communities have increased over the years.Recent targets include government officials such as the black justice minister Christiane Taubira and Muslim education minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.Meanwhile, Merkel made similar comments in her New Year’s address.The chancellor had spoken out against the so-called Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (Pegida).In mid-December, some 17,000 Pegida supporters demonstrated in the eastern city of Dresden.“Today many people are again shouting on Mondays: 'We are the people’. But what they really mean is: you are not one of us, because of your skin color or your religion,” said Merkel.

JAKARTA, Indonesia— AirAsia didn’t have permission to fly from Surabaya to Singapore on the Sunday morning that Flight 8501 crashed into the Java Sea, Indonesian officials said Saturday.Shortly after Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said it had detected two large parts of the aircraft on the seabed, transport ministry spokesman J.A. Barata said the airline was only permitted to fly the route on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from late 2014 to early 2015.“So AirAsia has committed a violation of the route that has been given to them,” Mr. Barata told The Wall Street Journal. He said the company’s flights from Surabaya to Singapore had consequently been suspended on Friday.Tommy Soetomo, the head of state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I, said AirAsia had a slot to fly on Sundays. But Mr. Barata said that information was outdated and that AirAsia should have returned the slot to the government. Before October, AirAsia had permission to fly daily to Singapore from Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, he said. He didn’t say why the number of flights was cut.Indonesia’s acting director general of aviation, Djoko Murjatmodjo, added that the Transportation Ministry is investigating why AirAsia was flying the route outside its permitted schedule, which covers the period Oct. 26 to March 28. The probe will include an internal investigation of the ministry, he said.At a news conference in Surabaya on Saturday, AirAsia Indonesia’s chief executive Sunu Widyatmoko said the company would fully cooperate with the government investigation. He said the management of AirAsia won’t comment further until the investigation is complete.

Mr. Barata said the investigation will also cover other airlines.The Airbus A320, which had 162 people on board, lost contact with air traffic control early Sunday morning midway between Surabaya and Singapore. Saturday, the head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency, Bambang Soelistyo, said sonar scans had identified two objects in about 30 meters of water that represent the main part of the aircraft.“With the oil slick that we found and the discovery of the two big objects, I can confirm that this is the big part of the AirAsia plane we have been looking for all this time,” Mr. Soelistyo said, adding that a remotely operated vehicle would be sent to take pictures of the objects, though rough weather is hampering the deployment. Some bodies have been recovered from the Java Sea and a handful of burials and memorial services have taken place, but the majority of passengers and crew are still unaccounted for as rough weather has slowed the search and recovery process.Budi Sampurna, a professor at the University of Indonesia and member of the forensic team responsible for identifying bodies from the crash, said one autopsy had already taken place, but he didn’t comment on the cause of death. He also didn’t say how many other autopsies were planned. Mr. Soelistyo said Friday evening that a total of 30 bodies had been recovered. Earlier Friday, searchers brought the bodies of 10 victims to shore. Following a ceremonial military send-off, they were flown to Surabaya.The bodies were placed in white coffins with a bouquet of flowers on top. Each coffin had a sign bearing the recovery number of the body inside, 009 through 018. The coffins were brought by ambulance to the airport. Then, each was carried by eight men in military formation to a waiting Indonesian Air Force airplane.U.S. Navy vessels are involved in the search operation, with the USS Fort Worth joining the USS Sampson in the hunt for wreckage on Saturday. Twenty-two Russian divers, a small submarine and a Beriev Be-200 amphibious aircraft also arrived on Saturday, said Alexander Shilin, the country’s deputy ambassador to Indonesia.“This is the most sophisticated equipment that can search both the surface of the water and the bottom of the sea,” Mr. Shilin said of the Beriev Be-200.The USS Sampson has recovered at least a dozen bodies since it joined the search operation on Monday. The bodies were among those sent by helicopter to Pangkalan Bun on Friday.Lt. Lauren Cole, deputy public affairs officer for the 7th Fleet, said that weather conditions in the area where the Sampson has been operating have hampered operations but the ship’s two Romeo search-and-rescue helicopters have been able to operate daily.Lt. Cole reported waves of two to four feet in the Sampson’s operation area, significantly less than the waves of about 14 feet this week by Indonesian search and rescue officials.The AirAsia plane didn’t issue a mayday call before disappearing less than an hour into its trip near a group of intense storm cells.On Friday night, AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes traveled to the city of Palembang, South Sumatra, for the funeral of flight attendant Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi, whose body was among the first recovered. She was found wearing her uniform and a nametag.“I am arriving in Surabaya to take Nisa home,” Mr. Fernandes said on Twitter. “I cannot describe how I feel. There are no words.”—Richard C.

Searchers find 'big parts' of crashed AirAisa QZ8501 plane-UPDATED: 03 Jan 2015 15:24-CHANNEL ASIA NEWS

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia: Recovery teams have found two big parts of AirAsia Flight QZ8501, which crashed into the sea last weekend with 162 people on board, Indonesia's top search official said Saturday (Jan 3).News of the discovery came after Indonesia's transport ministry said the plane had been flying on an unauthorised schedule when it crashed, and the airliner has now been suspended from flying the route from the city of Surabaya to Singapore.The parts of the plane were found in the Java Sea off the island of Borneo late Friday night, raising hopes that the remaining bodies and the black boxes, crucial to determining the cause of the crash, will soon be located. "With the discovery of an oil spill and two big parts of the aircraft, I can assure you these are the parts of the AirAsia plane we have been looking for," search and rescue agency chief Bambang Soelistyo told reporters.So far recovery teams have found 30 bodies of those killed when the Airbus A320-200 went down early Sunday during a storm, and Soelistyo said they were now sending divers to the spot where plane parts had been found to try to recover the remaining bodies. "The main focus today is to find and evacuate victims," he said.The director general of air transport, Djoko Murjatmodjo, said AirAsia's permit to fly the route of Flight 8501 had been frozen because the plane had been on an unauthorised schedule. "It violated the route permit given, the schedule given, that's the problem," Murjatmodjo told AFP, adding that the permit for the route would be suspended until investigations were completed.A statement from transport ministry spokesman J.A. Barata said AirAsia had not been permitted to fly the Surabaya-Singapore route on Sundays and had not asked to change its schedule. It was unclear how the airliner, which has yet to officially respond to the ministry's statement, had been able to fly without the necessary authorisation.The plane was operated by AirAsia Indonesia, a unit of Malaysia-based AirAsia, which previously had a solid safety record.Recovery teams, which have been hampered by rough weather in recent days, on Friday narrowed their search to an area of 45 by 35 nautical miles centred about 75 nautical miles southwest of Pangkalan Bun, a town in Central Kalimantan on Borneo.Search official S.B. Supriyadi in Pangkalan Bun said their Saturday operation would also comb coastal areas to see if bodies had drifted to shore, while their ability to send divers down would depend on sea currents and waves. "The visibility needs to be good as well because we need to pay attention to the divers' safety too," Supriyadi told AFP.Russia has sent in dozens of divers to help with the operations, as well as two planes, one amphibious, while French and Singaporean investigators are helping to locate the black boxes. The United States, Australia, South Korea and Malaysia are among other countries helping in the search effort.

HAMPERED BY STRONG CURRENT

Soelistyo said the larger of the two objects found on Friday night was about 10 metres by five metres. "As I speak we are lowering an ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) underwater to get an actual picture of the objects detected on the sea floor. All are at the depth of 30 metres," he said.He added however that the strong current was making it difficult to operate the ROV. Toos Sanitioso, an investigator from the KNKT (National Transportation Safety Committee), said he was hopeful they would find the black boxes in a few days. "It seems that they have found the major (plane) parts," he told reporters in Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city.The families of victims have been preparing funerals as the bodies recovered are identified in Surabaya, where a crisis centre has been set up at a police hospital with facilities to store 150 bodies. Of the 162 passengers and crew on board, 155 were Indonesian, with three South Koreans, one Singaporean, one Malaysian, one Briton and a Frenchman - co-pilot Remi Plesel. Ongko Gunawan, who lost his sister and brother-in-law and their child, expressed impatience as he waited for news. "We are exhausted and sick of it. Hopefully we can find the bodies quickly, now that there's also help from the foreign countries," he said.Before take-off, the pilot of Flight 8501 had asked for permission to fly at a higher altitude to avoid a storm, but the request was not approved due to other planes above him on the popular route, according to AirNav, Indonesia's air traffic control. In his last communication shortly before all contact was lost, he said he wanted to change course to avoid the menacing storm system.- AFP/by

QZ8501: Out of control-Geoffrey Thomas AirlineRatings.com-01 Jan 2015-New radar evidence shows QZ8501 was out of control and on a terrifying trajectory

Evidence is mounting that AirAsia flight QZ8501 encountered a freak weather event that sent it on a terrifying ride before it plummeted into the ocean.Radar play back of the plane’s flight path leaked by Indonesian authorities show it climbing at 9000ft a minute and then being slammed into a dive at 11,000ft a minute with bursts of up to 24,000ft a minute. But the plane’s forward speed was barely 100km/ hour.Earlier this week AirlineRatings.com broke the news that the plane was well above its assigned altitude and at a forward speed less than required to sustain flight.Controllers lost contact with the A320 just four minutes after its crew requested a deviation of their route to avoid storms.An A320 check captain told Airline Ratings.com that the leaked data was an accurate representation of Flt QZ8501. “If these figures are correct, QZ8501 was in a stall almost exactly equal to the parameters recorded on AF447,” he said. “The aircraft was out of control. It’s scary how similar to AF447 it looks.”Air France 447 was lost in the mid Atlantic in 2009. The French investigator found that the A330 crashed after inconsistencies between the airspeed measurements - due most likely to the A330’s pitot tubes being obstructed by ice – caused the autopilot to disconnect.It concluded that the crew reacted incorrectly and ultimately led the A330 to an aerodynamic stall from which they did not recover.AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes said that preliminary investigations suggest that the A320 encountered “very unique weather.”The Airbus A320 was flying between Surabaya and Singapore with 162 passengers and crew on Sunday when it disappeared off radar in 42 minutes into the flight.Indonesia navy divers have been searching the ocean floor for any sign of QZ8501 but bad weather hampered those efforts.And the outlook is getting worse with winds of up to 32km/hour whipping up 2 to 3 metre seas with white caps forecast over the next four days making spotting and recovery of debris difficult.On Wednesday an Indonesian official told CNN that a Navy ship using sonar diction equipment had found the plane but later Mr Fernandes discounted that claim.Separately French and Singaporean crash investigators have arrived to help in the recovery of the plane’s black boxes. Those investigators are using sensors to try and pick up a signal from the A320s emergency locator transmitter.A new passenger list released by the Indonesian Transport Ministry has revealed that 23 passengers, including two families, missed the flight – some due to a mix-up on the departure time.The original bookings for the flight totalled 177 made up of 157 adults, 20 children and four infants. Actual uplift was 138 adults, 16 children and 1 infant.The crew were made up of two pilots, one engineer and four flight attendants.

Anxious wait for families as bodies of QZ8501 crash victims are identified-By Sumisha Naidu-UPDATED: 02 Jan 2015 21:28-cnasia

SURABAYA: As hours turn into days for the families of the AirAsia flight QZ8501 crash victims in Surabaya, bad news is better than none.Slowly, bodies are being brought to Surabaya and identified, and families are wondering whether their loved ones will be the next to arrive. The sister of QZ8501 passenger David Hartono said: "I hope we can find him soon. If we find him, we will bury him with my late father, (who passed away four years ago)."Police have asked family members to provide them with more information - anything that will help them quicken the Identification of the bodies retrieved from the Java Sea - where authorities suspect that the missing AirAsia flight had crashed.The sister of QZ8501 passenger David Hartono said she had premonitions of death in the weeks before the flight's disappearance. However, she never thought that her 23-year-old brother's trip to visit Singapore with his friends would end up like this. "I dreamt that two of my teeth fell out. I searched on the Internet to find out what it means and apparently it means that you will have a relative who will die," she said.It is a difficult wait for them and other families here but many have no time for anger. Some have found solace in prayer, hoping divine intervention will bring them closer to closure.- CNA/ac

Recovery teams narrow AirAsia search-UPDATED: 02 Jan 2015 20:40-channelnewsasia

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia: Indonesian recovery teams narrowed the search area for AirAsia Flight 8501 on Friday (Jan 2), hopeful they were closing in on the plane's crash site, with a total of 30 bodies and more debris recovered from the sea.French and Singaporean investigators joined the hunt for the Airbus A320-200, which disappeared from radar during a storm Sunday en route from Indonesia's second city of Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people on board.The search teams have deployed side-scan sonar equipment to survey the seabed and pinger locators to fine-tune their search for the plane's black boxes, crucial to determining the why the plane crash into the Java Sea off Borneo.Rough weather has in recent days hampered the search for the plane's fuselage, which is believed to be in relatively shallow water of around 25-32 metres (82-105 feet).Search and rescue agency chief Bambang Soelistyo said Friday's operation was focused on an area of 1,575 square nautical miles - a tenth of the size of Thursday's search - with 29 ships and 17 aircraft engaged in the operation."There are two main tasks in this priority sector: first, to locate the biggest part of the plane's body," he told a press conference. "The second task is to find the position of the black boxes, or flight recorders, which will be carried out by the KNKT (National Transportation Safety Committee) which start working today.""Divers are already on standby at the navy ship Banda Aceh to dive on that priority area to locate the body of the plane," he said, voicing hope for a "significant result". KNKT chief Tatang Kurniadi told AFP that 40 divers, including 20 deep sea experts, arrived on Friday from Russia to help, along with two planes, one amphibious.

EXTREME WEATHER

The search is now focused on an area of 45 by 35 nautical miles centred about 75 nautical miles southwest of Pangkalan Bun, a town in Central Kalimantan on Borneo.With the search area narrowing, Indonesian official S B Supriyadi said they were pressing on despite rough conditions, with high winds and 3-4 metre (10-13 foot) waves. "The search is still proceeding in systematic way, despite the extreme weather," he told a press conference.He said ships equipped with sonar may search through the night, but high waves were hampering the use of equipment to find the black boxes.Two South Korean Orion surveillance planes on Friday spotted six bodies, Indonesian air force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said in a press release. "After sweeping the area for more than two hours, at 11:58 the (Orions) found three bodies sitting in one row," he said, and another three just minutes later. They informed warships by radio and fired flares to indicate the location for retrieval, he said.

MORE VICTIMS IDENTIFIED

Relatives were preparing to hold funerals after three more victims were identified, including flight attendant Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi, who had recently posted an Instagram picture with the message "I love you from 38,000 ft" for her boyfriend."I'm arriving in Surabaya to take Nisa (Fauzi) home to Palembang. I cannot describe how I feel. There are no words," AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes tweeted.Also named was Grayson Herbert Linaksita, 11, who was travelling with his parents and 12-year-old sister for a holiday. His great-uncle Bagyono Linaksita, 73, told AFP was dreading breaking the news to the children's grandmother, who was on holiday in the Czech Republic."She doted on her two grandchildren and would send and fetch them from school every day," he said. "We have not told her the news that the whole family had died in a plane crash. Grayson was her favourite grandchild. She will certainly faint."A crisis centre for identifying the victims has been set up at a police hospital in Surabaya with facilities to store 150 bodies.Before take-off, the pilot of Flight 8501 had asked for permission to fly at a higher altitude to avoid a storm. But his request was not approved due to other planes above him on the popular route, according to AirNav, Indonesia's air traffic control.In his last communication, Captain Irianto, an experienced former air force pilot, said he wanted to change course to avoid the menacing storm system. Then all contact was lost, about 40 minutes after the plane had taken off.Of the 162 passengers and crew on board, 155 were Indonesian, with three South Koreans, one Singaporean, one Malaysian, one Briton and a Frenchman - co-pilot Remi Plesel.The plane was operated by AirAsia Indonesia, a unit of Malaysia-based AirAsia, which previously had a solid safety record. The crash came at the end of a disastrous year for Malaysian air travel.After the disappearance of Flight MH370 in March, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew, another Malaysia Airlines flight -- MH17 -- was shot down over Ukraine in July, killing all 298 on board.- AFP/ir

Airbus signs MoU with Honeywell and Safran to develop electric taxiing solution for the A320 Family
• Projected fuel savings and CO2 reductions up to four per cent per trip
• Providing A320 Family operators autonomy from pushback tractors
• Taxiing-related carbon and NOx emissions cut by more than half
18 December 2013 Press Release

As part of on-going research and development into future technology options, Airbus has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EGTS International, a joint venture company between Safran and Honeywell Aerospace, to further develop and evaluate an autonomous electric pushback and taxiing solution for the A320 Family.The agreement marks the selection of EGTS International’s Electric Green Taxiing System to be evaluated as a new option on the A320 Family – referred to by Airbus as eTaxi. This option would allow the aircraft to push-back from the gate without a tug, taxi-out to the runway, and return to the gate after landing without operating the main engines.eTaxi will use the aircraft’s Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to power electric motors fitted to the main landing gear wheels. The architecture will include the ability for pilots to keep full control from the cockpit over their aircraft’s speed and direction during taxi operations.Olivier Savin, EGTS Programme Vice President, Safran said: “We are extremely pleased to strengthen our relationship with Airbus, a key customer and industry leader in innovation. Through this agreement we are creating the ideal context to collaborate to best utilize our own landing gear systems expertise to develop a green taxiing solution for the A320 Family.”Brian Wenig, EGTS Programme Vice President, Honeywell Aerospace said: “Following our demonstration of the technology at this year’s Paris Airshow, this MoU marks the next critical milestone in the advancement of the Electric Green Taxiing System as an option for Airbus’ A320 Family, by securing Airbus’ support in the development of the system. Airbus will provide extremely valuable insight to facilitate a seamless integration into the aircraft.”Daniel Baubil, Airbus EVP, Head of A320 Family Programme said: “Today Airbus delivers the world’s most eco-efficient single-aisle aircraft – the A320 Family. This is the result of our permanent research for innovative enhancements to make our aircraft even more efficient and capable.” He adds: “We therefore look forward to working with our EGTS International expert partners – Honeywell and Safran – with whom we share the common view that the A320 Family is a natural fit for an electric taxiing capability.”The eTaxi option will offer several operational and environmental benefits for the A320 Family:· Per trip, the projected fuel savings and CO2 reductions would be approximately four percent;·It  would contribute to significantly more efficient taxiing operations and save around two minutes of time on pushback; Taxiing-related carbon and nitrous oxide emissions would be cut by more than half.Over the next few months the partners will jointly develop and present a global commercial case and implementation plan to determine the feasibility of an electric taxiing solution for the A320 Family. To this end, Airbus and EGTS International are reinforcing their existing teams to finalize validation studies, define specifications and converge on market requirements for a fully tailored forward-fit and retrofit technological solution.To regularly enhance the A320 Family’s capabilities and performance, Airbus invests approximately 300 million euros annually in keeping the aircraft highly competitive and efficient. More than 10,000 A320 Family aircraft have been ordered and over 5,800 delivered to operators worldwide. With a record backlog of over 4,200 aircraft, the A320 Family reaffirms its position as the world’s best-selling single-aisle aircraft family.Safran is a leading international high- technology group with three core businesses: Aerospace (propulsion and equipment), Defence and Security. Operating worldwide, the Group has 62,500 employees and generated sales of 13.6 billion euros in 2012. Working alone or in partnership, Safran holds world or European leadership positions in its core markets.

PA Presents ICC Membership Request to UN-PA envoy to the United Nations says PA seeks justice "for all the victims that have been killed by Israel".By Elad Benari, Canada-First Publish: 1/2/2015, 10:05 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) envoy to the United Nations on Friday formally requested membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow war crimes complaints to be filed against Israel, reports AFP."This is a very significant step," envoy Riyad Mansour told reporters. "We are seeking justice for all the victims that have been killed by Israel, the occupying power."Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is to review the so-called instruments of accession and notify state members on the request within 60 days, the report noted."We are honored that we are the 123rd state-party of the ICC, which will be effective in about 60 days from now in accordance with the rules and procedures of the ICC," Mansour said.The PA envoy submitted the so-called instruments of accession to the United Nations' top legal affairs official, Stephen Mathias, at UN headquarters in New York.PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas signed requests to join the ICC and 16 other conventions on Wednesday, a day after the Security Council failed to adopt a resolution paving the way to full statehood.The United States has branded the move to seek ICC membership as "counterproductive" and warned it would only push the sides further apart.According to AFP, Mansour said the PA had also filed a request with the ICC in The Hague to grant retroactive jurisdiction to the court to cover alleged war crimes committed during last year's Gaza war.Mansour said the PA will also be seeking to launch legal action over Jewish settlement construction, which he said was a war crime under the Rome Statute."This is a peaceful option, a civilized option and an option that anyone who upholds the law should not be afraid of," he said.Even if the PA files the charges, legal rights experts say that having the ICC enter the fray of the Israeli-Arab conflict will ultimately harm the PA, Hamas, and the ICC itself - not Israel.In a recent interview, the PA's envoy to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) admitted the PA has no hope of pressing charges against Israel in international courts - because Palestinian Arab terrorist groups are far worse violators of international law themselves.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has called on the ICC “to reject out of hand the hypocritical request of the Palestinian Authority, since the Palestinian Authority is not a state.”(Arutz Sheva’s North American desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

PA's ICC Move Fueled by European-backed NGOs'-NGO Monitor shows how NGOs funded by Europe have been waging 'lawfare' on Israel for decades, paving the way for 'war crimes' threat.By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 1/1/2015, 3:42 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

The Palestinian Authority (PA) signed the Rome Statue on Wednesday advancing a push to sue Israel for "war crimes" at the International Criminal Court (ICC), but the path for such a move has been paved by intense "lawfare" and propaganda against Israel for decades by NGOs, according to NGO Monitor.
The Jerusalem-based research center detailed how major NGOs including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and European-funded NGOs Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Al Haq, Diakonia and FIDH, brought about the ICC move through years of lobbying."Attempting to litigate the highly charged Arab-Israeli conflict in the ICC could spell the end of the court, and the NGOs and their European funders will be responsible," said Anne Herzberg, NGO Monitor Legal Advisor. "While the Palestinian leadership and the NGOs may get some short-lived propaganda victories in their political war, they may soon find they got more than they bargained for."The reason for that is that legal experts - including the PA's own UN human rights envoy and a former ICC chief prosecutor - have assessed the move can lead to counter-prosecutions of officials from all the Palestinian Arab factions over war crimes committed against Israelis. European governments are a key backer in providing funds for the NGOs that have campaigned for years to allow this move, and often that funding occurs via "secretive and irresponsible processes that lack transparency and accountability," reports NGO Monitor.Palestinian Center for Human Rights gets funds from the European Union (EU), Norway and Ireland; Al Haq receives from Ireland, Belgium, Spain and Norway; FIDH is funded by France, EU, Sweden, Norway and Ireland; and Diakonia, a Swedish church-based NGO, gets most of its funding from the Swedish government.So how do these European-backed NGOs wage their "lawfare" against the Jewish state? One of their prime mechanisms if the Secretariat, a joint framework of funding by Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland which is managed by the Institute of Law at Birzeit University. The funding mechanism has long given the financial support needed for NGOs to wage legal campaigns delegitimizing Israel and advancing Palestinian Arab narratives and goals.
"Ironically, in order to convince governments to support the ICC, Human Rights Watch has argued for years that the court would never be exploited for political maneuvers by the Palestinians," said Herzberg. "Once again, Human Rights Watch has been proven wrong."There are also NGOs functioning within Israel, including Adalah and Yesh Din, which advance the false accusation of a lack of due process in Israel's justice system to push for international "war crimes" cases. Both NGOs are funded by European governments and the New Israel Fund (NIF).Herzberg concluded saying "given that the Palestinians have committed tens of thousands of war crimes against Israeli civilians, they may find themselves facing prosecution not only for war crimes but crimes against humanity and genocide."The PA's ICC move comes after its resolution at the UN Security Council unilaterally demanding recognition and Israeli withdrawals failed this week.Explaining the move to Arutz Sheva, Shurat Hadin (Israel Law Center) director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said the highly politicized nature of the ICC means Israel is likely to lose such a case despite the falseness of the charges, a prospect that likely would lead to sanctions.She added that the only deterrent against the PA actually fulfilling its threat is that it would lead to a bevy of war crimes charges against them as well, and likewise would lead Israel and the US to pull funding for the PA, effectively dismantling it.

Erekat Unveils Slew of Conventions Abbas Signed-Erekat gives UN list of int'l treaties 'State of Palestine' signed onto in breach of Oslo Accords, says 'settlements' focus of ICC lawsuits.By Dalit Halevy, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 1/1/2015, 5:26 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Palestinian Authority (PA) chief negotiator Saeb Erekat announced on Thursday to James Rawley, the UN's Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, which international conventions the PA signed onto the day before in breach of the Oslo Accords.Erekat announced that PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas in a Wednesday meeting not only signed onto the Rome Accords, allowing the PA to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and sue Israel for "war crimes," but also signed "the state of Palestine" on to a whole slew of international conventions, as reported in Arabic by the official PA news source WAFA and listed below.The PA similarly breached the Oslo Accords by signing international conventions back in April when it torpedoed the peace talks with Israel, a process of crashing the talks that was sealed when the PA signed a unity deal with Hamas.It's most current move comes after the PA's bid at the UN Security Council unilaterally demanding recognition and Israeli withdrawals failed. Experts asses the ICC move would open the PA up to war crime suits for its involvement in terrorism against Israelis, and likely cause Israel and the US to drop their funding of the PA, effectively collapsing it.Erekat told Rawley that the "state of Palestine," by signing onto the conventions, obligates itself to changes its laws in accordance with them. He also mentioned that the unilateral press at the UN was a "legitimate right" and expressed a desire to see "Palestine back on the map.""We guard our people in every place, and the crimes committed against our people in eliminating them, settlements, destruction, and aggression against Gaza, they haven't passed statutes of limitations and those who commit the crimes need to deal with the results," Erekat said.He added "we demand that the US consider our position, because as is the strength of a nation great so is the responsibility on it great.""Palestine relies on international law, and therefore we demand that the US again consider its relations with Israel, stop treating it like a nation above the law and stand at the right-hand of international legitimacy regarding the end of Israeli settlement and eliminations," Erekat said."Whoever wants to defeat terrorism in the region must deal with the roots of the Israeli occupation as a preface to defeating terror," claimed Erekat, saying "settlements" will be the main focus of the PA's lawsuits at the ICC.

What did Abbas sign?

Erekat's announcement listed the conventions Abbas signed onto, prime among them the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court; the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the ICC; and the Declaration in the accordance with the Rome Statute of the ICC.Others signed include: Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents; Convention on the non-applicability of statutory limitations to war crimes and crimes against humanity; UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.There were more general ones signed as well, such as the Basel Convention on the control of transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal; UN Convention on the Law of the Sea; Convention on Biological Diversity; Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses.Likewise the PA signed the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions...relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II); Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions...relating to the Adoption of an Additional Distinctive Emblem (Protocol III); Convention on the Political rights for Women; Convention on the safety of the UN and Associated Personnel; Convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards (the New York Convention).The Treaty On The Non-Proliferation Of Nuclear Weapons; Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons which may be deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects; and Convention on Cluster Munitions rounded out the list.

Netanyahu Slams ICC Bid: The PA Isn't a State-PM in emergency meeting calls on ICC to reject 'hypocritical' request of PA to join, notes PA recently formed pact with Hamas terror group.By Hezki Ezra, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 1/1/2015, 7:29 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held an emergency meeting at the prime minister's office in Tel Aviv on Thursday to discuss the Palestinian Authority (PA) attempt to join the International Criminal Court (ICC), so as to sue Israel for "war crimes."PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas launched the ICC move by signing the Rome Convention on Wednesday along with a whole slew of other international conventions - in breach of the Oslo Accords - after his attempt to press for recognition and Israeli withdrawals at the UN Security Council fell short."We expect the international court to reject out of hand the hypocritical request of the Palestinian Authority, since the Palestinian Authority is not a state," pointed out Netanyahu at the conclusion of the meeting.Indeed, Abbas signed on to the Rome Convention and the others he requested to join as the "state of Palestine."Elaborating on this point, Netanyahu said the PA "is an entity that has a treaty with a terrorist organization, Hamas, which commits war crimes, and the state of Israel is a lawful nation with an ethical army that observes all international laws.""We will defend the IDF soldiers as they defend us," added Netanyahu, responding to the PA intention to sue soldiers for "war crimes."Experts asses the ICC move would open the PA up to war crime suits for its involvement in terrorism against Israelis, and likely cause Israel and the US to drop their funding of the PA, effectively collapsing it. Israel for its part may face sanctions given the politicized nature of the ICC, which would likely rule against it despite the falsehood of the charges.In an interesting turn of events Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) was not invited to the meeting.Sources in the foreign ministry criticized Netanyahu for not inviting Liberman, accusing him of wanting to avoid "challenging" suggestions from the foreign minister. They added that the results of the meeting were known in advance, and therefore only clerks from Netanyahu's office were invited.

Hamas: Abbas Has No Authority to Join ICC-Acting speaker of the Palestinian parliament, says any signing of an international treaty must be approved by the entire parliament.By Dalit Halevi and Elad Benari-First Publish: 1/2/2015, 12:13 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Ahmed Bahar, acting speaker of the Palestinian parliament, on Thursday poured cold water on Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s application to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and several other international conventions and treaties.In a statement, Bahar said that Abbas bears responsibility for the applications which, he claimed, do not serve the interests of the “Palestinian people.”Bahar stressed that any signing of a treaty or an international agreement requires national responsibility and the entire Palestinian parliament must approve it.Thursday’s statement stands in sharp contrast to Hamas’s statement from Wednesday, in which it praised Abbas's move as a "step in the right direction.""This step needs to be part of a general policy and a joint national program," Hamas said in a statement.Hamas's previous embrace of the ICC bid oddly contrasts with its utter rejection of the PA's UN draft resolution to boot Israel out of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, which it said in multiple statements did not 'represent the Palestinian people.Hamas's spokesman said last week the resolution "doesn't represent [the] consensus of the Palestinian people," and Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar added that the draft resolution in favor of Palestinian statehood was "disastrous," and that it has "no future in the land of Palestine."The last elections for the PA parliament were held in 2006, and Hamas won an overwhelming majority. The group later staged a bloody military coup in Gaza in the summer of 2007, creating a rift between Abbas’s Fatah movement in Ramallah and the Hamas-led government in Gaza.The sides formed a unity government last year but the government has been unable to function and there have been signs that it is crumbling.The most recent reconciliation attempt has been rocked by tensions, most notably Hamas's attempt to stage a violent coup in Judea and Samaria against the Palestinian Authority.

46 from same denomination on AirAsia jet-About one-third were of Protestant faith-UPDATED 11:37 AM CST Jan 02, 2015

SURABAYA, Indonesia (CNN) —The world's fourth-most populated country, Indonesia has about 250 million people. Any of them might have boarded AirAsia Flight QZ8501, never to come home.Seven crew members and 155 passengers were aboard -- almost one-third from the same Christian denomination.There was no single reason that members of Mawar Sharon, a Protestant faith with about 45,000 members around Indonesia, got on the AirAsia Airbus plane Sunday, beyond a common desire to get to Singapore in time for New Year's Eve. They weren't heading to one event. They didn't all necessarily know one another, having attended services at different churches mostly around Surabaya, the Indonesian city where the commercial airliner took off.Still, their religion tied them together. And pastor Lianggone Tejo Bunarto says he hopes that those shared beliefs help their loved ones cope now, as the search for more crash victims continues in the Java Sea.As Bunarto says, "We're putting trust in God's hands."Pastor: 'Put our trust' in God's will.About 50 people with relatives on QZ8501 spent part of Friday afternoon inside a special church for police officers in Surabaya. It wasn't a Mawar Sharon church; it was chosen because it's near the hospital where recovered bodies are being identified. But it served the same purpose: to allow the grieving to congregate, to reflect and to voice their beliefs.So they did, holding their hands high at times, holding each other's hands in prayers at others. They sang, the anguish in their faces starkly evident.Afterward, church members preferred not to talk to reporters. But Bunarto, who is a pastor to some of those on Flight QZ8501, did.He acknowledges the struggles these Mawar Sharon members, not to mention scores of other families, are facing. They may not understand why the plane went down. They may have trouble waiting for definitive word that their loved ones have been recovered, if that ever happens. And, despite their fervent faith, they might not grasp God's role in all of it.Bunarto says, "Some things that happen in our lives, sometimes we just don't understand what God really intends."That doesn't mean they lose faith.According to the pastor, "We just put our trust -- everything, completely -- in his will. Because he's going to bring everything (that is) the best in our life."

channelnewsasia updates in small type-9:40am-Fisherman Mr Pendi saw a plane flying "really low" on Sunday (Dec 28), the day AirAsia QZ8501 went missing. He had been on the roof at the time. He is now in Jakarta trying to assist with investigations. Other fishermen our reporter Xabryna Kek spoke with said it was raining heavily that day, with strong gusts of wind from 5am. 10.30AM: There was a two-minute delay in response by Indonesia's air traffic control after the pilot of QZ8501 requested to fly at 38,000 ft, air traffic logs suggest, reports Bloomberg. 10.50 AM: Forty divers, including 20 deep sea experts arrived from Russia today, and the KNKT (National Transportation Safety Committee) chief voiced hope of a "significant result" in locating the body of the plane. 11.00AM: AirAsia confirmed the remains of #QZ8501 passengers and a crew member who were identified today, were returned to their families. One of them, Grayson Herbert Linaksita, was just 11 years old and he was travelling with his 12-year-old sister and parents for a holiday.


UPDATES-JAN 02,15-08:30AM
3 SHIPS ARE DEPLOYED TO LISTEN FOR THE PINGER FROM THE BLACK BOXES.SO THEY CAN GET THE BLACK BOX FROM QZ 8501-A320-200.The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Bedok-class mine countermeasure vessel (MCMV) RSS Kallang has arrived at the search area and will focus on underwater search operations. This marks the arrival of all the assets the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has committed thus far at the search area. With the shift in focus to search efforts underwater, Victory-class missile corvette RSS Valour which has been focusing on surface search efforts, will depart for Singapore later today as part of the SAF’s rotational plan.To date, the Singapore Armed Forces has contributed more than 400 SAF personnel, two C-130 aircraft, two Super Puma helicopters, five navy ships and a 6-man Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team.FROM SINGAPORE DEFENCE MINISTRY. Indonesia's General Moeldoko says a total of 65 ships, 14 planes and 19 helicopters have been deployed in the multinational search operations for the AirAsia plane. BASARNAS says 30 bodies have been recovered - 10 bodies are en route to Surabaya, four are at Pangkalan Bun, eight are on board naval ships, and eight are in Surabaya. Waves reached as high as 5m today, making search operations challenging. Crew on board a South Korea P-3C Orion aircraft spotted six bodies in the QZ8501 search area, and three were still sitting in a row of plane seats with their seatbelts on, Detik reports.We have a radar screengrab from Indonesia's air traffic controller which showed the aeroplane climbing to 36,000 feet ... but its speed had dropped by about 200km/hr, which was not enough speed to sustain flight," Geoffrey Thomas, the Editor-in-Chief for Flight Ratings.com said to Channel NewsAsia. I dreamt that two of my teeth fell out. I searched on the internet to find out what it means and apparently it means that you will have a relative who will die," said a woman whose brother is on board QZ8501 to reporter Sumisha Naidu.

WHAT IS A BLACK BOX? - national geogtaphic channel

Often one of the first pieces of techno-speak that springs to mind when we hear of an aviation disaster - and a catch-all phrase popular with the media - is ‘Black Box,’ but how much do you really know about these vital pieces of equipment? Any commercial aeroplane or corporate jet is required to be equipped with a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder. It is these two items of separate equipment which we commonly refer to as a ‘Black Box.’ While they do nothing to help the plane when it is in the air, both these pieces of equipment are vitally important should the plane crash, as they help crash investigators find out what happened just before the crash.Often, for example when a plane crashes into the sea, as happened with the 1985 bombing of Air India flight 182 by Sikh terrorists over the Atlantic Ocean just west of Ireland, investigators have very little to go on – on this specific occasion the plane crashed before the pilot could even issue a mayday signal and much of the debris sank into the sea, leaving few clues.Today, the Black Box is still just as vitally important in helping piece together the causes of a plane crash, as seen by the discovery of the Black Box in the Mexico plane crash that killed fourteen, including the interior minister of Mexico on 4th November, 2008.To help locate the cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder in the aftermath of a plane crash that occurs at sea, each recorder has a device fitted to it known as an Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB). The device is activated as soon as the recorder comes into contact with water and it can transmit from a depth as deep as 14,000 feet. Also, to help investigators find them; a Black Box is not actually black at all, but bright orange.All recorders undergo countless tests. For example, one Black Box recorder, the L-3 FA 2100 underwent testing that includes exposure to a 1,110°C fire for an hour and 260°C heat for 10 hours. It is also able to operate between -55° to +70°C and it can carries a minimum 25 hours of flight data.

WHO INVENTED THE BLACK BOX?
The Black Box was first invented by a young Australian scientist named Dr. David Warren. While Warren was working at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory in Melbourne in the mid-1950s he was involved in the accident investigation surrounding the mysterious crash of the world’s first jet-powered commercial aircraft, the Comet. Realising that it would have been useful for investigators if there had been a recording of what had happened on the plane just before the crash, he got to work on a basic flight data recorder. The first demonstration unit was produced in 1957, but it was not until 1960, after an unexplained plane crash in Queensland, that Australia became the first country in the world to make the Black Box mandatory for all commercial aircraft.

THE COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER
The main purpose of the Cockpit Voice Recorder is, unsurprisingly, to record what the crew say and monitor any sounds that occur within the cockpit. While investigators might be interested in any witty banter between pilots that went on just before an explosion or plane malfunction, trained investigators are keen to pick up on sounds such as engine noise, stall warnings or emergency pings and pops. Investigators are so skilled that they are then able to work out crucial flight information such as the speed the plane was travelling and engine rpm and can sometimes pinpoint the cause of a crash from the very sounds the plane was making before it crashed. The Cockpit Voice Recorder is also extremely important for determining the timing of events as it contains information such as communication between the crew and ground control and other aircraft. The Cockpit Voice Recorder is usually located in the tail of a plane.

THE FLIGHT DATA RECORDER
Of equal, if not more significance to the Cockpit Voice Recorder, is the Flight Data Recorder. This piece of equipment is essential to the work of Air Crash Investigators as it records the many different operating functions of a plane all at once, such as the time, altitude, airspeed and direction the plane is heading. But these are just the primary functions of the recorder, in fact, modern Flight Data Recorders are able to monitor countless other actions undertaken by the plane, such as the movement of individual flaps on the wings, auto-pilot and fuel gauge. Information stored in the Flight Data Recorder of a plane that has crashed is invaluable for investigators in their search for determining what caused a specific crash. The data stored on the recorders helps Air Crash Investigators generate computer video reconstructions of a flight, so that they can visualise how a plane was handling shortly before a crash.The Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder are invaluable tools for Air Crash Investigators worldwide and will continue to play a major role in finding out the causes of aviation accidents, as well as offering plane manufacturers and government’s considerable ideas to help make air travel as safe as possible.

THE FUTURE OF THE BLACK BOX
As technology continues to develop it is likely that Black Boxes, or flight data recorders, will become more and more sophisticated and more reliable, giving Air Crash Investigators more to go on when painstakingly trying to piece together what caused a plane crash.Potentially, the humble MP3 player – adored by music fans the world over - could become part of the flight data recording software. In 2007, US light aircraft manufacturer LoPresti Speed Merchants announced that it planned to fully integrate the device as flight data recorder on all of its Fury piston aircraft. The company believes that if suitable software was used then MP3s would be capable of recording over 500 hours of flight time data.

Search teams battle rough weather in hunt for AirAsia wreck-Reuters-By Fergus Jensen and Gayatri Suroyo-JAN 2,14-YAHOONEWS
PANGKALAN BUN/SURABAYA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Ships and aircraft criss-crossed the seas off Borneo on Friday hunting for the wreck of an Indonesia AirAsia passenger jet, but bad weather was again hindering the search for the plane and the black box flight recorders that should reveal why it crashed. Officials said more than 30 bodies have now been recovered, along with pieces of the broken-up plane, in the Indonesian-led search for Flight QZ8501 that is concentrated on 1,575 square nautical miles of the northern Java Sea.Strong winds and heavy seas have stopped divers from looking for the fuselage of the Airbus A320-200, which plunged into the water on Sunday while en route from Indonesia's second-biggest city Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people on board."The waves could reach five meters this afternoon. Higher than yesterday," said air force Puma helicopter pilot Flight Captain Tatag Onne, who has been flying missions to recover bodies and debris from the sea."We look for breaks in the clouds where conditions improve so that we can approach. Yesterday, when we went to collect a body from the sea we couldn't because the body was being rolled by waves. Sometimes we could see it, sometimes we couldn't."The multinational search operation based in Pangkalan Bun, the town in southern Borneo closest to the search area, was bolstered on Friday by experts from France's BEA accident investigation agency, which attends all Airbus crashes.Officials said the French team's hydrophones - sophisticated underwater acoustic detection devices - and towed sonar equipment brought by other international experts could not be used on Friday because of high waves."The sea state has to be calm," General Sunarbowo Sandi of Indonesia's search and rescue agency said. "We cannot operate it in poor weather."But naval vessels from Indonesia, the United States and Singapore with in-built anti-submarine capabilities were using sonar to sweep the sea floor, he added.

STALL THEORY

The cause of the crash - the first suffered by the AirAsia group since the budget operator began flying in 2002 - is unexplained. Investigators are working on a theory that the plane stalled as it climbed steeply to avoid a storm about 40 minutes into a flight that should have lasted two hours.Officials earlier said it may take up to a week to find the black boxes, which investigators hope will unravel the sequence of events in the cockpit during the doomed jet's final minutes.Even in bad weather, however, the search for the AirAsia plane is less technically challenging than the two-year search for an Air France jet that crashed into deep Atlantic waters in 2009, or the fruitless hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 that disappeared last year.Given Flight QZ8501 crashed in shallow seas, experts say finding the boxes should not be difficult if its locator beacons, with a range of 2,000 to 3,000 meters (6,560 to 9,800 ft) and a battery life of about 30 days, are working.Twenty-two bodies have been recovered from the sea, Supriadi, mission co-ordinator for the Indonesian search and rescue agency, told a news conference. Debris such as luggage, an emergency slide and a life jacket has also been found.The bodies are being taken in numbered coffins to Surabaya, where relatives of the victims, most of whom were Indonesian, have gathered. Authorities have been collecting DNA from relatives to help identify the bodies.The first funeral one of the crash victims was held on Thursday, and on Friday officials said the remains of three more had been identified, including a flight attendant.

"UNBELIEVABLY" STEEP CLIMB

The plane was traveling at 32,000 ft (9,753 meters) and the pilots had asked to climb to 38,000 ft to avoid bad weather just before contact was lost. When air traffic controllers granted permission to fly at 34,000 ft a few minutes later, they got no response.A source close to the investigation said radar data appeared to show the aircraft made an "unbelievably" steep climb before it crashed, possibly pushing it beyond the A320's limits."It appears to be beyond the performance envelope of the aircraft," he said.Online discussion among pilots has centered on unconfirmed secondary radar data from Malaysia that suggested the aircraft was climbing at a speed of 353 knots, about 100 knots too slow, and that it might have stalled.The Indonesian captain, a former air force fighter pilot, had 6,100 flying hours on the A320 and the plane last underwent maintenance in mid-November, according to Indonesia AirAsia, which is 49 percent owned by Malaysia- based AirAsia.Three airline disasters involving Malaysian-affiliated carriers in less than a year have dented confidence in the country's aviation industry and spooked travelers.Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared in March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew and has not been found. On July 17, the same airline's Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.On board Flight QZ8501 were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia and Britain. The co-pilot was French.(Additional reporting by Charlotte Greenfield, Cindy Silviana, Michael Taylor, Nilufar Rizki, Kanupriya Kapoor, Nicholas Owen, Adriana Nina Kusuma in JAKARTA, Jane Wardell in SYDNEY and Anshuman Daga in SINGAPORE; Writing by Jane Wardell and Alex Richardson; Editing by Michael Perry, Paul Tait, Robert Birsel)

QZ8501: Tough weather condition hampers fifth day of SAR mission-Astro Awani | Updated: January 01, 2015-ASTRO AWANI

KUALA LUMPUR: The Search and Rescue (SAR) mission of the AirAsia flight QZ8501 which entered into its fifth day on Thursday is expected to be tough based on the rough sea and weather condition.
Malaysian Chief of Navy Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar via his Twitter handle stated that the visibility was limited to only five nautical miles.Abdul Aziz had earlier informed that the search area which was set for KD Pahang is at Sector 2 while KD Lekir and Lekiu is at Sector 4.Abdul Aziz also informed that a helicopter had been provided by KD Lekiu for rescue mission at the designated sectors.He added that the search area had also been widened to 13,500 nautical miles on Thursday compared to 6,160 nautical miles on Wednesday.The northern sector has been divided into two sectors which are monitored by the Navy.The sector which is located nearest to Pontianak, Kalimantan meanwhile is monitored by the Republic of Singapore Navy.

QZ8501: Name tag found on a body wearing stewardess uniform-Astro Awani | Updated: January 01, 2015

KUALA LUMPUR: Among the seven bodies of AirAsia's flight QZ8501 retrieved so far, one was found with a name tag on her stewardess uniform.The body with the tag ‘Khairunisa Haidar’ was also wearing a ring and an Alexandre Christie branded watch.Meanwhile, AirAsia Indonesia chief executive Sunu Widyatmoko confirmed that of the seven bodies found, one is of a AirAsia stewardess.The identity of name of the stewardess could however not be confirmed.“It is true we had received the information that one of the bodies found is a crew member, a stewardess. On the identity, we are still waiting for identification from the authorities,” he told Kompas.com.He said, as of now, the issue of compensation has yet to be discussed as AirAsia is currently focusing on the search and rescue mission. Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi’s name is on the QZ8501 passenger manifest.The Airbus A320-200 carrying 162 passengers and crew members from Surabaya to Singapore lost contact with air traffic control on Sunday.It was scheduled to land in Singapore at 8.20am.There were 149 Indonesians passengers onboard together with three South Koreans, and one each from Singapore, Malaysia and United Kingdom.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: First victim positively identified as Surabaya teacher-January 1, 2015 - 9:56PM -Michael Bachelard-Indonesia correspondent for Fairfax Media-The Sydney Morning Herald

Disaster Victim Identification crews have positively identified victim 001 of AirAsia's crashed flight QZ8501.Hayati Lutfiah Hamid, 47, an elementary school teacher from Surabaya, was travelling to Singapore for a holiday with her daughter, husband and mother-in-law when the plane crashed with 162 people on board on December 28.Shortly after the positive identification, an ambulance backed up to the police morgue in Surabaya, the police chief said a few words, and Ms Hayati's body and possessions were handed over first to AirAsia chief executive Sunu Widyatmoko, who handed them directly to Ms Hayati's family.At that moment, the heavens opened and rain belted down as two female relatives stood pouring tears at the rear of the police station. They were comforted by the mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini. Another body was found late on Thursday, and was delivered from the boat to the port at Pangkalanbun, Borneo, the closest port to the crash site. This brings the total to eight bodies recovered from the crash. One has been identified, five are at the police morgue in Surabaya awaiting identification — two females and three males — and two have not yet been airlifted from Pangkalanbun to Surabaya.Police disaster investigation chief Budiyono announced late on Thursday that a meeting of forensic experts had made the positive identification of Ms Hayati based on fingerprint evidence, as well as items of jewellery and identity documents found on the body.Attempts to positively identify body 002 - a young man - have so far failed.A neighbour told local media that Ms Hayati and her husband, Djoko Suseno, a used car dealer, had planned to travel to Mecca with their daughter to fulfil the Haj pilgrimage, but that the fifth grade girl had wanted to take a holiday to Singapore first.Ms Hayati's daughter, husband and mother-in-law are now missing, presumed dead.
No news has emerged from the dive site about 105 nautical miles off Pangkalanbun the island of Borneo, where changeable weather may have thwarted once more hopes that divers would be able to access the site of the wreckage for the first time.A Singapore-based ship with sophisticated under-sea sonar also arrived on Wednesday and may have more luck mapping the dive site.Weather reports late on Thursday also suggested the weather was clearing up at the site.

AirAsia Flight QZ8501: Plane may have landed on water, overcome by high seas: experts-Published on Jan 1, 2015 7:12 PM-The Straits Times

JAKARTA (AFP) - As search teams hunt for the black boxes of AirAsia Flight QZ8501, analysts say the pilot may have managed to make an emergency water landing, only for the plane to be overcome by high seas.The Airbus A320-200 left the Indonesian city of Surabaya early Sunday and disappeared from radar over the Java Sea during a storm, but it failed to send the transmissions normally emitted when a plane crashes or is submerged.Experts say this suggests the experienced former air force pilot, Captain Iriyanto, conducted an emergency water landing which did not have a destructive impact."The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) would work on impact, be that land, sea or the sides of a mountain, and my analysis is it didn't work because there was no major impact during landing," said Dudi Sudibyo, a senior editor of aviation magazine Angkasa. "The pilot managed to land it on the sea's surface," he added.The plane, carrying 162 people to Singapore, was cruising at a height of 32,000 feet when the pilot requested a change of course to avoid storms.Although permission was granted to turn left, the pilot was not immediately allowed to ascend owing to heavy air traffic, and the plane disappeared from radar soon afterwards. Some analysts have suggested the plane stalled because it was travelling too slowly or climbed too steeply. It is unclear why there was no mayday distress signal from the cockpit.Indonesia's search team scoured the sea for more than 48 hours before the first debris was spotted off the island of Borneo after a tip-off from fishermen.So far the search team has found eight bodies which appear to be intact."The conclusions I have come to so far are that the plane did not blow up mid-air, and it did not suffer an impact when it hit a surface, because if it did so then the bodies would not be intact," Chappy Hakim, a former air force commander, told AFP.The fuselage is also thought to be largely intact after aerial searchers saw a "shadow" on the seabed, where operations are now being focused.An emergency exit door and an inflatable slide were among the first items recovered by the search team, suggesting the first passengers may have started the evacuation process once the plane landed on water.Former transport minister Jusman Syafii Djamal was convinced the discovery of the floating exit door meant "someone had opened it".Passengers may have been waiting for a flight attendant to inflate a life raft when a high wave hit the nose and sank the plane, Mr Djamal added."High waves may have hit the plane, the nose, and sunk the plane."Flight safety standards require that all passengers can be evacuated from a plane in 90 seconds. The cause and more details of the crash will remain unclear until investigators find the all-important black boxes, which will answer questions such as why the underwater locator beacon did not work.Experts from France and Singapore have joined Indonesian transport safety investigators in their hunt for wreckage of the plane operated by AirAsia Indonesia, a unit of Malaysia-based AirAsia which previously had a good safety record.If found, the cockpit voice recorder should detail the conversations of the pilots for the whole of the short flight and reveal their last moments."We can only find out from the black box," said Sudibyo.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: final communications from pilot of missing plane revealed-December 30, 2014 -Michael Bachelard-Indonesia correspondent for Fairfax Media-The Sydney Morning Herald

Surabaya: The final communications between the pilot of ill-fated flight QZ8501 and air traffic control have been revealed as Indonesian naval vessels moved late last night to check new reports of an oil slick in the search zone.The strain meanwhile has begun to show on some families, who expressed frustration with AirAsia's chief executive Tony Fernandes and the chief pilot in closed meetings on Monday.Indonesian state navigation operator AirNav said late on Monday that the Airbus 320-200 captain, Iriyanto, had requested permission at 6.12am local time on Sunday to turn left to avoid a storm.The request was granted and the plane turned left seven miles. The captain then requested to be able to climb saying: "Request to higher level," according to AirNav standards and safety director Wisnu Darjono, as quoted by the Jakarta Post.The air traffic controller responded: "Intended to what level?", to which Iriyanto indicated he wanted to go to 38,000 feet.But there were six planes in the area at the time, another AirNav spokesman said, so, after consulting with the destination airport, Changi in Singapore, air traffic control told QZ8501 it could only go to 34,000 feet."But when we informed the pilot of the approval at 6.14am, we received no reply," Mr Wisnu said.According to earlier timelines, all communication between the plane and Jakarta was lost three minutes later, and at 6.18am, it went off the radar entirely. Indonesian search and rescue agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said yesterday the plane was likely "at the bottom of the sea".Indonesian navy vessel Pattimura was late last night making its way to a location near Bangka Belitung Island to check reports from an Indonesian air force plane of an oil slick on the ocean.It was one of a number of leads in the search zone on Monday, one of which came from an Australian PC-3 Orion dispatched from Darwin in a different part of the rescue area, closer to Kalimantan. Indonesian Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan said ships had checked that area out and had found nothing, and vice-president Jusuf Kalla said nothing conclusive had been drawn from the Australian aircraft's report. Australian Defence officials referred all queries to Indonesia.A list released by the Indonesian search and rescue agency on Monday shows five helicopters, 10 fixed-wing aircraft (including two Australian Orions — one possibly on standby only), and 16 ships have joined the search.At Surabaya airport, some of the relatives of the 162 people on the flight began to express anger at AirAsia executives over answers they considered inadequate. Relatives wanted to know why the departure time of QZ8501 had been brought forward from 7.20am to 5.20am on Sunday. They were told it was just a routine change.Some were seen gesticulating during a closed meeting with Mr Fernandes, and parents said outside that they did not know why, in the face of such bad weather, the flight had not been delayed or cancelled."It seems like the answer to a lot of the questions asked is just repeating 'We lost contact'," said Z. Effendy the uncle of 20-year-old trainee flight assistant Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi."The replies were just to humour us," said the missing woman's father, Haidar Fauzi. "They give you the answer they think you want to hear just to keep you calm."Both men said they still hoped for the best, but were realistic enough to expect the worst: "We knew the risk our daughter was taking with this job, so we're prepared," Mr Haidar told Fairfax Media.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: 5 things about Java Sea, where search for plane is taking place-Published on Dec 28, 2014 11:31 PM-The Straits Times

AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501 reportedly lost contact with air traffic control over the Java Sea, between the islands of Kalimantan and Java.The Indonesian air force said two of its planes had been dispatched to scour an area of the Java Sea, southwest of Pangkalan Bun in Kalimantan province.

Here are five things to know about the area:

1. Java Sea is a part of the western Pacific Ocean between the Indonesian islands of Java and Borneo. It is bordered by Borneo on the north, Java on the south, Sumatra on the west, and the Flores and Bali seas on the east. It is linked to the Indian Ocean by the Sunda Strait.

2. It has shallow waters, with an average depth of about 46 metres. It covers a total surface area of 167,000 square miles, or about 603 Singapores (Singapore's land area is about 277 square miles).

3. The area is mainly influenced by monsoon climate. The rainy monsoon, which occurs between mid-December and March, is characterised by very windy periods with frequent rainfalls lasting for days. The dry monsoon occurs from June to September.

4. There have been several incidents involving planes and ships in the area.

On Jan 1, 2007, a plane of the now-defunct Adam Air lost contact with air traffic control while it was flying over the Java Sea. The Boeing 737-400, which carried 102 people mostly from Indonesia, was on its way from Surabaya to Manado.Parts of the plane were found only 10 days later off the west coast of Sulawesi. Investigators found that the pilots had accidentally disconnected the autopilot system while trying to fix a problem in the navigation instruments.In May 2009, an inter-island ferry caught fire in the Java Sea. Some 350 passengers and crew were rescued by a passing cargo ship.In December 2006, a crowded ferry broke apart and sank in the Java Sea during a violent storm, killing more than 400 people.In 1981, 580 people were killed when Indonesian passenger ship Tamponas II caught fire and sank in the area.

5. Wrecks of ships are reportedly still in the Java Sea, which is also a popular underwater dive spot.

It was the scene of one of the costliest naval battles of World War II, dubbed the Battle of the Java Sea. The naval forces of the Netherlands, Britain, Australia, and the United States were nearly destroyed trying to defend Java from Japanese attack.In August this year, the US Navy confirmed that a wreck found at the bottom of the Java Sea is the USS Houston, a cruiser sunk by the Japanese in World War II. The wreck is the final resting place of as many as 700 US sailors and marines.Wreck of a ship called Indono that sank in 1955 is also still in the Java Sea, near the waters of Karimunjawa, said reports.
