The tail of an AirAsia plane that crashed into the Java Sea was lifted to the surface on Saturday, according to an AFP photographer aboard a nearby Indonesian Navy ship.

Floating balloons were used to lift the tail — the biggest part of the plane’s wreckage found since the crash on December 28 — from the sea floor, the photographer and Indonesian authorities said.
