Bodies of passengers spotted floating in sea alongside plane door belonging to doomed AirAsia flight 8501

Teams searching for the missing AirAsia flight 8501 have found up to six dead bodies, luggage, a plane door and an emergency slide floating in the water off the coast of Borneo Island (main image, top right, bottom right).

Images shown on Indonesian television showed at least one bloated corpse floating in the water, causing many of victims' relatives - who were watching live reports at crisis-centre at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya (bottom left) - to burst into tears, and at least one woman to collapse in grief.

The Airbus A320-200 (inset) was travelling from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore when it vanished on Sunday, with 162 people aboard. Rescue teams are now preparing body bags to collect the victims of the disaster (top left).
