AirAsia QZ8501

[Philip Argy]

I notice that the underwater photos published in today's papers show both wings still attached to the fuselage and flaps partially extended. The tail was found 3km from the rest of the fuselage.

Although there has been speculation about a mid air explosion, it looks to me more like an unsuccessful attempt at an emergency ocean landing, probably due to wave size.

Of course the CVR/FDR will reveal much more shortly but the physical evidence is certainly significant.
