This is an extensive timeline in local time.
4:29pm: The Associated Press reports that bodies were found floating near the site where the missing plane was last seen.
Meanwhile, an air force plane spotted a "shadow" on the seabed, believed to be the missing jet.
3:59pm: Indonesia search and rescue chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo says he is "95 per cent sure" that the debris found so far by search and rescue teams is from the missing AirAsia flight, announcing this in a press conference broadcasted live minutes earlier.
"The remaining 5% (doubt) is because I have yet to see for myself the emergency door and other debris," he added. The debris, he said, were found 10km away from the spot where the plane was last seen on the radar.
He said that all debris found will be brought to the search base in Belitung, and has mobilised all resources searching the water to move toward the area where the items, and at least one body, were spotted.
He also said a boat with 11 divers from the Indonesian navy and the Indonesian search and rescue team has been sent to the exact location so they can pick up as much evidence as possible to examine.

2:41 AM PT: Just soes ya know, I'm relying on the Yahoo News reports from their Singapore bureau. Yahoo has aggressively moved from being an aggregator to being an original production entity. And it's 3:30 am in MT, good night.
