Indonesian officials said a naval patrol vessel may have found what could be the section of a crashed AirAsia passenger jet where the crucial black box voice and flight data recorders are located.
"We found what has a high probability of being the tail of the plane," Yayan Sofyan, captain of the patrol vessel, told reporters.
The possible discovery occurred the same day Indonesia suspended several aviation officials following the revelation that AirAsia Flight 8501 did not have the proper permits to fly the day it went down in a storm over the Java Sea.
The search is now in its ninth day, and search-and-recovery teams took advantage of calmer seas Monday to expand the hunt for wreckage and victims of a passenger jet that crashed en route from Indonesia to Singapore on December 28.
