Search for victims of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 crash could end within days, official says

Rescue personnel ride on rubber boats during the recovery operation to locate the victims and wreckage of the AirAsia Flight QZ8501 airliner in waters off Pangkalan Bun, Indonesia, earlier this month. However, the search could end within days if no more bodies are found, a senior government official admitted yesterday. "Within one week we will evaluate (our search) depending on the result," the agency chief, Fransiskus Bambang, Soelistyo told reporters. Photo: EPA/STR
