Air Asia QZ8501: Tail of crashed plane found

The tail of the crashed Air Asia plane has been found in the Java Sea.

Indonesian searchers say it was found in a secondary search area, lending weight to theories that strong currents have moved the debris.

The plane was lost en route from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore on the 28th of last month with 162 people aboard.

No survivors have been found. 

The tail houses the "black boxes" or the voice and flight data recorders - which could give investigators clues as to the cause of the crash.
