Divers have located the black boxes from the crashed AirAsia jet

Searchers on three ships homed in on intense pings coming from the Java Sea floor today. They are about two miles from where the plane’s tail section was recovered on Saturday.
‘The two are close to each other, just about 20m,’ said Indroyono Soesilo, coordinating minister for Maritime Affairs. ‘Hopefully, they are the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder.’
The recorders are believed to be buried beneath wreckage and if divers are unable to free them, all of the debris will be lifted.
The recorders are key to understanding what caused the aircraft to go down on December 28, killing 162 people on board.
Divers have about two weeks left before they go silent.
A remotely-operated vehicle was not deployed to probe the area because it is feared it could damage the boxes.
Search efforts for the boxes and the Airbus A320’s cabin, have been hampered by big waves and powerful currents created by the region’s rainy season. Silt and sand have created blinding conditions for divers.
While the cause of the crash is not yet known, bad weather is believed to have been a factor.
The tail find is a major success in the slow-moving hunt for victims and wreckage from Flight 8501. The red metal chunk from the tail, with the words AirAsia visible, was brought to the surfacefrom a depth of 100ft using inflatable balloons.

Three more bodies have been identified, including Park Seongbeom, 37, and his wife, Lee Kyung Hwa, 34, from South Korea. They were recovered on Friday, still strapped to their seats.
Their baby has not yet been found, but the infant’s carrier was still attached to Mr Park. So far, only 48 corpses have been recovered.
