First AirAsia plane crash victim buried in Indonesia
- 9 years ago
It's nearly dark when the body of 49-year-old Hayati Lutfiah Hamid is delivered to her Indonesia home for burial.
She is among the first two victims found from last Sunday's AirAsia disaster.
160 others -- almost all of them Indonesian -- were also on board when it crashed off Borneo in the Java Sea.
Hamid's family and friends gather at this suburb near Surabaya for her Islamic burial.
Three of her family members were also on the plane, which was on its way to Singapore when it disappeared from radar.
She is laid to rest just before sundown, one of at least seven people whose bodies have been recovered so far.
Search crews are waiting for rough seas to calm down.
They want to inspect a shadow they think might be the plane's wreckage... in the hope that more bodies will be found and more families still can say goodbye to loved ones.
