A passenger on a WestJet flight says police boarded the plane looking for someone who had snatched the aircraft’s megaphone.

Mike Van Dijk says the pilot of the flight to Saskatoon from Toronto first announced Monday night that something had disappeared from the plane.

“That we had lost something,” Van Dijk said. “And, at first, it kind of seemed like something had fallen off the plane.”

Officers next told everyone that they wanted the thief to come forward.

Photos: AirAsia flight found upside down at the bottom of the sea, passengers found holding hands

Indonesian search officials have now confirmed they have located the fuselage of AirAsia flight 8501 on sonar radar, upside down on the sea floor, not far from where three of the bodies from the doomed AirAsia flight were found holding hands when discovered floating in the Java Sea. Officials from Basarnas, Indonesia's search and rescue agency, say the plane wreckage has been located in 24 to 30 metres of water and one of the seven confirmed recovered bodies was wearing a life jacket.

Lieutenant Airman Tri Wobowo, who was co-piloting Indonesia's C130 Herclues aircraft, was the first to discover debris from the plane and witnessed the tragic scene.

'There were seven to eight people. Three of them held hands,' he told a local newspaper.

American Plane Crash Averted As Flight Carrying 240 Passengers Makes Emergency Landing

American Airlines flight AA280 carrying 240 passengers and 15 crew members from Seoul to Dallas yesterday experienced a mid-air scare over the Pacific Ocean and was forced to make an emergency landing near Tokyo.
