Pangkalan Bun, Indonesia • A massive hunt for the 162 victims of AirAsia Flight 8501 resumed Wednesday in the Java Sea after six bodies, including a flight attendant identified by her trademark red uniform, were recovered. But wind, strong currents and high surf hampered recovery efforts as distraught family members anxiously waited to identify their loved ones.
Three bodies were retrieved Tuesday, while the others were found after the search resumed Wednesday morning, said Henry Bambang Soelistyo, Indonesia's search and rescue agency chief.
The first proof of the jetliner's fate emerged Tuesday in an area not far from where it dropped off radar screens.
