Bodies and Debris Found in Search for AirAsia Plane, Rescue Teams Say

Indonesian rescue teams said Tuesday that they had found bodies and what appeared to be debris from the AirAsia plane that vanished shortly after taking off from the airport here on Sunday.

Members of search teams told the Indonesian news media that they had spotted what appeared to be suitcases, life vests and aircraft debris. Indonesian television showed a rescuer descending from a helicopter toward a bloated corpse floating in the sea.

The debris was found in the Karimata Strait off the coast of Borneo. Search teams also spotted what appeared to be a larger piece of the fuselage of the plane, which was operated by the Indonesian affiliate of AirAsia.

floatingと韻を踏ませているのでしょうが,a bloated corpseは生々しい言い方です。Websterには"bloated - abnormally distended especially by fluids or gas"とあります。(Inaho)
