Three bodies have been recovered in a debris field floating in the sea off Borneo — including what appeared to be a life jacket and the cabin door — by the Indonesian military Tuesday on the third day of an intensive search for AirAsia Flight 8501. Shortly after Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency Chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said he was "95 percent certain" the wreckage, just six miles from the plane's last reported position, belonged to the missing Airbus A320-200 passenger jet. AirAsia officials confirmed that the debris was, in fact, from the plane.
