Divers hunt for victims inside crashed AirAsia plane's fuselage

Divers on Thursday descended to the main body of an AirAsia jet that crashed last month, hoping to recover most of the disaster's victims, a day after it was finally located by a navy ship.

Flight QZ8501 went down on Dec 28 in stormy weather during a short trip from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore, with 162 people on board.

After a lengthy search often hampered by bad weather, a Singapore military vessel spotted the fuselage - the plane's main body, believed to be the resting place of most of the victims - at the bottom of the Java Sea on Wednesday.
