On Tuesday evening, Indonesia Air Asia Flight DG7053 from Manila to Kalibo skidded off the end of the runway. The 159 passengers on board were quickly evacuated from the plane.

According to an Air Asia spokesperson, the plane crashed while landing at the airport due to strong winds. It is known that the plane DG7053 is an Airbus A320-200 similar to the plane that went missing off the coast of Borneo. Air Asia quickly evacuated 159 passengers and blocked the end of the flight path.

Returning to the information about the disappearance of the QZ8051 plane on Sunday, December 28, on the afternoon of December 30, the Indonesian government announced that they had found debris as well as more than 40 bodies of passengers on the ill-fated QZ8051 flight. However, contrary to the previous statement from the Indonesian government, the head of the search announced that they had only found 3 victims. The three victims were taken to the warship Bung Tomo.

Also on Tuesday, the US announced that it would send another search ship to Indonesia. A Pentagon spokesman said, “The USS Fort Worth is being deployed to the crash site and is ready to work in the next day or two.” According to the latest information, on Tuesday evening, the search was forced to be suspended due to bad weather.
