The journey of missing AirAsia plane ends on sorrow note. As per reports from objects of the AirAsia plane which vanished Sunday with 162 people have been found by a search plane.

Search planes and ships from several countries conducted mammoth search on Indonesian waters for any trace of clues and one of the  plane reportedly detected miscellaneous objects near Nangka island about 100 miles from the location where the plane lost contact with radars.

The flight took off from Saurabya, Indonesia to Singapore and was on halfway before going off the radar near Belitung Island in the Java Sea.Indonesian officials also confirmed the reports and said that the traced objects belong to missing AirAsia Jet.

They said the pilot sought an unusual route due to thunderstorms between Kalimantan and Belitung island, before the aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control.The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March and downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine last year are similar fatal accidents.
