ivers from the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) recovered on Thursday five more bodies from inside the fuselage of the AirAsia aircraft that crashed in the Karimata Strait in Central Kalimantan on Dec. 28, 2014.
Several of the bodies have been taken on board the naval vessel the Banda Aceh, which has been deployed with several other ships to participate in the search and rescue operation.
'For the time being, five bodies have recovered,' kompas.com quoted Basarnas' director of operations Commodore SB Supriyadi as saying in Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan on Thursday.
He said he had yet to receive reports on the bodies' conditions.
'They [the bodies] may be decomposed,' he said.
Up to Jan. 20, the joint team of Basarnas, the Indonesian Military and foreign teams had recovered the bodies of 53 of the 155 passengers and seven crew members who are believed to have been killed in the crash. (****)(+++)
