Relatives of the passengers and crew on board the ill-fated Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 are facing an agonising wait as authorities search for the wreckage.
Sixty-two people were on board the passenger plane which plunged into the sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta on Saturday.
There appears to be no hope of finding survivors.
Although no-one on board has been formally identified, information is emerging from family and friends.
