MISSING PLANE'S TAIL FOUND

Divers had found the tail on Wednesday, and on Friday, divers investigated pings a search ship had detected. They lowered ropes and slings down to the tail and planned to inflate giant airbags or balloons underneath to lift the tail from the bottom of the sea. A crane will raise the section out of the water. The plane, an Airbus A320-200, normally houses the flight data recorders in the tail, and there is hope that they are still there. The information they hold is key to the investigation into what happened to the flight that took off from Surabaya, Indonesia, for Singapore on December 28 with 162 people on board. The plane's pilot had asked to change course and climb to a higher altitude minutes before contact was lost, according to Indonesian officials.
