Weather halts search for plane

Indonesia's Search and Rescue vessel KN SAR Purworejo tasked to deploy navy divers to the crash site of the AirAsia plane in Java Sea has suspended operations due to bad weather, the captain of the ship said on Thursday. "With heavy rains and wind this strong, the waves in the crash site may reach up to 4 meters. It is not possible for us to go in such bad weather conditions," captain Adi Triyanto said.
