AirAsia QZ8501: Jet alarms 'screaming' before crash, says investigator


JAKARTA: Warning alarms on Indonesia AirAsia flight QZ8501 were "screaming" as the pilots desperately tried to stabilise the plane just before it plunged into the Java Sea last month, a crash investigator said Wednesday.

The noise of several alarms - including one that indicated the plane was stalling - could be heard going off in recordings from the black box in the Airbus A320-200's cockpit, the investigator told AFP, requesting anonymity.
