members has been reported missing. The plane was due

More details to follow as events unfold.
May this one be found o Lord! #AirAsia
The search is on for an AirAsia plane carrying 162
people that lost contact with Indonesian air traffic
control Sunday.
Before communication was lost, AirAsia Flight QZ 8501
asked to deviate from its planned flight route -- from
the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore --
because of weather conditions, AirAsia said in a
statement.
Flight 8501 went missing at 7:24 a.m. Sunday (7:24
p.m. Saturday ET), nearly two hours after takeoff, as it
flew over the Java Sea. From flight tracking websites,
almost the entire flight path appears to be over the sea.
"At this time, search and rescue operations are being
conducted under the guidance of the Indonesian Civil
Aviation Authority," AirAsia said.
Of the people on board the Airbus A320-200, 156 are
Indonesian, three are South Korean, one is French, one
is Malaysian and one is Singaporean, the airline said.
Seventeen children, including one infant, are among the
passengers, the carrier said. Seven of the people on
board are crew members. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
