Divers have located the empennage section of AirAsia Flight 8501, Indonesia's search and rescue agency said on Wednesday local time. It's not yet known if the wreckage found contains the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, which are normally located in the rear of the aircraft. Nor did the agency say whether acoustic equipment had detected pinging from the recorders' underwater acoustic beacons.
