2 big objects turn up in AirAsia search

Small debris, 30 bodies, an oil slick, and then on Saturday, two big pieces of metal debris. Rescuers searching for doomed AirAsia Flight QZ8501 seem to be finding it piece by piece.

Photos of the new debris are likely to follow soon, as Indonesia's rescue agency is sending down a remote-operated vehicle with a camera, Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo said on Saturday.

The first object measures 9.2 x 4.6 x 0.5 meters (30 x 15 x 1.6 feet), and the second measures 7.2 x 0.5 meters (24 x 1.6 feet)

Late Friday, searchers found an oil slick, and shortly after, an Indonesian ship using a metal detection system came across the metal parts.

Also on Friday, a piece was found that appeared to belong to a plane's fuselage -- its main body, Singapore officials said

The USS Sampson, deployed by the U.S. Navy to help, recover some bodies. A limited number of them will be autopsied to determine the cause of death to aid the investigation, an Indonesian official said on Saturday.

"According local wisdom and culture, not all families accept autopsies. For the sake of the investigation we agree, and it is accepted by INTERPOL, to perform autopsies on the pilot, co-pilot and some randomly selected passengers," said East Java Police Chief Anas Yusuf.

Four of the plane's victims have been identified. The first, Hayati Lutfiah Hamid, was laid to rest on Thursday.

AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said he was traveling to Surabaya, Indonesia, to bring home the body of flight attendant Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi
