Tail of Missing AirAsia Flight 8501 Plane Is Found in the Java Sea

The tail of missing AirAsia Flight 8501 has been found in the Java Sea by sonar. An Indonesian official confirmed Wednesday that divers and an unmanned underwater vehicle had spotted the tail of missing AirAsia Flight 8501. However, search crews are still looking for the plane’s black box flight recorder. AirAsiaFlight 8501 went missing on December 28, 2014 with 162 on board after losing contact with air traffic control in bad weather.

The head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said Wednesday that the tail of AirAsia Flight 8501 had been spotted in the Java Sea, a development that could be significant because the plane’s so-called black boxes were contained there.

“The tail section has been found and confirmed,” the official, Bambang Soelistyo, said at a news conference.

He said that the object was identified by sonar early Wednesday and that navy divers and a remote-controlled underwater vehicle had been deployed to confirm the discovery. The team took a photograph of what Mr. Soelistyo said was part of the tail, and it was broadcast on national television.

Flight 8501, an Airbus A320-200, crashed into the Java Sea on Dec. 28 with 162 people aboard, less than an hour after taking off from the Indonesian city of Surabaya bound for Singapore.

Islamist Terror Attack in Paris France … 12 Killed at French Satirical Magazine Charlie Hebdo (VIDEO of Attack)(Update: Shouted “Allahu Akbar!”)

Islamist Terror Attack in Paris France …

Eleven people are dead and 5 in critical condition after a terrorist attack at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.  This is the same magazine that was fire-bombed in November 2011 a day after it carried a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.The attack took place at 11.30 am local time as two black-hooded individuals  entered the building with assault rifles and opened fire. The terror suspects who committed this heinous act are on the loose and a massive manhunt is underway.

This was not a lone wolf attack, this was an orchestrated terror attack on a media organization with a getaway plan. This was not a terrorist suicide attack looking to end up with 72 virgins. The training these men appear to have had is startling. Political correctness kills folks, get tough on terrorists or else.

Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and injuring seven in an apparent Islamist attack.

At least two masked attackers opened fire with assault rifles in the office and exchanged shots with police in the street outside before escaping by car.

The gunmen shouted “we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad”, witnesses say.

President Francois Hollande said there was no doubt it had been a terrorist attack “of exceptional barbarity”.

A major police operation is under way in the Paris area to catch the killers.

ABC NEWS Video – 12 Dead in “cowardly attack”. 

UPDATE I:  12 dead after gun attack at French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

Twelve people are confirmed dead, 10 from the  Charlie Hebdo magazine and 2 police officers.

A huge manhunt is underway in Paris after at least 12 people were killed and seven others injured in a shooting at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Police said two of those killed were police officers and that four of the wounded are in a critical condition.

Witness Benoit Bringer said the attack started at 11.30 am local time: “Two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs (automatic assault rifles). A few minutes later we heard lots of shots.” He added the men were then seen fleeing the building.

Other reports spoke of three or four gunmen, who made off in a car which may have been hijacked, hitting a pedestrian as they drove.

President Francois Hollande called it “an act of barbarism”. He added: “This is a terrorist attack, there is no doubt about it.”

The government said it was raising France’s security level to the highest notch and the prime minister’s office confirmed extra security has been put in place at official buildings and media offices.

UPDATE II: VIDEO of attack:

In another clip on Television station iTELE, they are heard shouting: “We have killed Charlie Hebdo. We have avenged the Prophet Mohammad.”

UPDATE III: The UK Telegraph – Paris Charlie Hebdo attack: (LIVE – VIDEO):

13.56 Charlie Hebdo cartoonist has told a French newspaper of the moment he encountered the two attackers as they entered the office.

The gunmen apparently said: “We’re al-Qaeda”:

Quote I had gone to get my daughter at nursery.

When I arrived in front of the door of the building of the paper, two men hooded and armed brutally threatened us.

They wanted to come in, go up. I pressed in the code.

They shot on Wolinski, Cabu… it lasted 5 minutes… I had hidden under my desk… they spoke French perfectly… they said they we’re al-Qaeda.

UPDATE IV: VIDEO (Warning) Check out these sick SOB’s as they shoot and kill a wounded police officer on the side walk.

National Fraternal Order of Police Asks for Cop Killings to be Included in Federal Hate Crimes Law

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL AN AMBUSH MURDER OF POLICE BUT A HATE CRIME … “They Take 1 Of Ours .?.?. Let’s Take 2 of Theirs”

The National Fraternal Order of Police is asking for the Congressional hate crimes statute to be expanded to include crimes against police officers. If we do have a federal hate crime statute, then it might as well be written to include the murder of police officers. According to FBI statistics, about 21.7% of non-accidental law enforcement deaths since 2004 were ambush attacks. My personal belief is that murder is murder and it is hard to say that some one should be punished more for a hate crime than committing a murder in the commission of any crime. What is to say what is in one’s mind when they commit murder, usually all no good. However, I do believe that the murder of a police officer should be prosecuted and punished in a much different and extreme measures so to deter any thought of sicko punks and thugs that would ever consider murdering a police officer. You take the life of a police officer, yours will be taken as well.

In the wake of the murder of two New York City police officers and a national debate about policing, the National Fraternal Order of Police is asking for the Congressional hate crimes statute to be expanded to include crimes against police officers. The union has more than 300,000 members.

Violence against police officers that is motivated by anti-police bias should be prosecuted as a hate crime, the nation’s largest police union is arguing in a letter to President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders this week.

“Right now, it’s a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their uniform as well,” said Jim Pasco, the executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police.

“Enough is enough! It’s time for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect us,” Chuck Canterbury, the president of the union, said in a statement Monday. The group has long lobbied for harsher punishment for those who harm law enforcement officers.

Bill O’Reilly Says NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is ‘Spitting in the Face’ of NYPD and Needs to Go Now”

Bill O’Reilly on the Factor could not have said it any better with regards to the riff between the NYPD officers and progressive, liberal NYC Mayor Bill de Blazio. O’Reilly blasted de Blasio’s actions and applauded the police officers turning of their back on the mayor in disrespect.  O’Reilly said, “there comes a point in time where ideology becomes so damaging to society that it has to be stopped. Mayor de Blasio is as left-wing as they come.”

OReilly says de Blasio has reached the point of no return, HE MUST GO!!!

Mediaite:

But O’Reilly was especially angry with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio for speaking of “injustice among his own police officers” and essentially “spitting in the face of his own police department.” O’Reilly had absolutely no problem with cops turning their backs to de Blasio at a funeral for one of their own, because they had no call to directly show the mayor any respect at the service.
