Really an awful day as the year is going to end.
 
And for those who don't know, ship Norman Atlantic caught fire on the same day as the AirAsia plane was lost. 10 deaths so far, with many people being searched. Just a terrible tragedy, let's hope all this bad luck finishes within 2014, andd 2015 can be a very good year.
 
BASARNAS (Indonesian SAR. FYI) has found the debris of the plane in Karimata strait, Kalimantan. last afternoon.
and a few dead bodies has been found and floating on the sea.

the team did a search and started to evacuate all the victims around there, from evening to night. i heard 40 dead bodies has been found there. what a terrible news at close of the end of the year. seems no one survived but i hope my feel is wrong. i don't even know the news of both my friends. i sent a message to their family who are still in Juanda Airport but neither of them reply my message.

hope the best.
