Search and rescue operations are underway after an AirAsia flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people onboard lost contact with air traffic control on Sunday.

Transport Ministry official Hadi Mustofa said the aircraft, flight number QZ 8501, lost contact with the Jakarta air traffic control tower at 6.17 am local time (10.17am AEDST).

My morning scan of news feeds indicates the wreckage has been found. But that is not being reported yet on FoxNews.

In my experience asian and other far eastern peoples make poor airplane pilots.
Not sure how good they are at ship piloting they are.

An AirAsia Plane Is Missing And Thought To Have Crashed Near An Island In Indonesia

An AirAsia plane that went missing during a flight to Singapore is thought to have crashed near the Indonesian island of Belitung, an official from Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency told local news outlets.

A search and rescue team has been dispatched to the area.

CCTV News reports that wreckage might have been spotted near Belitung Island, but there has been no official confirmation of that yet.
More info on this (?). Early "news" reports tend to be very incomplete and inaccurate. The waters into which this plane may have crashed are relatively shallow (compared to the open ocean).
