should avoid hotel lobbies where a lot of americans, american tour groups american airlines and the rest of it. i mean i ve always taken these things seriously. and i would too if i were in indonesia. quickly before we go tell us about the region surabaya indonesia, is there any pre-existing big threat to americans in that region that you know of? well it indonesia s largest islamic country in the world and there are jihadi groups there. there are some members who have been in syria and iraq and have come home and there s always been a threat there. it s a very very small minority but nonetheless a pewfew people can do a lot of damage. bob baer thank you, appreciate it. turning back to the search of missing air asia flight 8501 heavy winds and rain are making it difficult still in the recovery effort however, conditions are expected to be improving very soon. here s karen maginnis. for over a week we ve talked
school teacher s funeral. she was traveling with her husband, daughter, and mother-in-law all on vacation. let s go live to surabaya indonesia. we understand more victims were identified overnight. is that right? reporter: that s right. three more victims were identified overnight including a young flight attendant. and an 11-year-old indonesian boy and 22-year-old indonesian man. they are three more individuals identified. the fourth identified yesterday. as you mentioned before she was laid to rest by her family last evening. searchers ships are still onsite today but they are having trouble with the weather once again. high winds, heavy rains, 13-foot seas. they managed to recover some debris, however. they found an emergency fly from
the weather is not only going to have to stop making waves and making all the debris movement it has to stop for more than one day. one day is not sufficient. that s all they re forecasting right now. so i m concerned that they ll go out there again and these professionals who are so committed, you can see it in their face that they really want to find these and really want to put this to rest. but they re just not going to be able to get out there. i m afraid it s going to take quite some time. we have an example of a black box on the table here. there s a voice recorder and a data recorder. this small item is what searchers are looking for when they re looking for the plane. peter, we have transportation officials in indonesia now saying that the black box could actually be sent to jakarta to be analyzed. i think we expected it would probably go to australia or maybe to france. well if indonesia says they
well we have word from local reports over in indonesia that parts of the tail were found. of course, that s where the black boxes are. so that should give us all hope right, thomas? well yeah this is a relatively shallow water recovery or search-and-recovery. and given that it s that finding the pieces is going to happen. this is not like mh-370. the tail section is the critical section. if they found those pieces, the time it will take femme more tome able to get to the black boxes should be pretty rapid. mary i wanted to ask you about this. take a look at these pictures. these photos were posted by the singaporean defense minister and appear to show what look like window panels. what stands out to you? well it s clear the fuselage was breached and my personal opinion is breached when it went into the water. it couldn t possibly a situation where the plane landed and then settled in. it s cleared the some violent
image of a much bigger object but that hasn t been confirmed since. that much bigger object obviously is the fuselage and searchers think that the fuselage brianna, mainly in tact and it still con takened many of the bodies. so a very frustrating all around but so much so for the families who wait here where i am at the crisis center in surabaya for any sort of news about the fate of their loved ones. and so many of them you told us are resigned, really to the fate of their loved ones and so the next step for many of them is burying their loved ones. now with 30 bodies having been found, only 4 identified how does this process go of identifying these bodies? reporter: well painfully or pain painstakingly slowly. they are very very cautious and careful about identifying correctly the remains of these
