The Indonesian navy has said it has worked out the last known coordinates of the missing jet, and ships are being sent to the area. Navy official Abdul Rasyid told reporters: "The coordinates have been found and have been given to all Navy vessels in the area." Photos show rescue workers pulling debris from the water in a desperate search for survivors. An Indonesian rescue agency confirmed suspected debris of the flight had been found. No radio beacon signal had been detected, the agency said.
Residents of Thousand Island said they heard two explosions before finding items in the sea. It's been reported the plane fell 10,000ft in less than one minute, about four minutes after taking off. Surachman, a local government official, told Kompas TV that fishermen found what appeared to be the wreckage of an aircraft in waters north of Jakarta and a search was underway.
Other channels showed pictures of suspected wreckage.
