Divers search AirAsia fuselage found in Java Sea: "Singapore's Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said in a statement Wednesday that the country's navy chief told him the plane's fuselage was located by one of the nation's vessels.

Bambang Soelistyo, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue chief, said the section found is 100 feet long and 30 feet wide with a height of 10 feet.

"The fuselage with a wing still attached on it was found in the priority search area and has been confirmed as part of AirAsia plane," he said.
