"At this time, search and rescue operations are in progress and AirAsia is cooperating fully and assisting the rescue service," the airline said, adding that a hotline had been established for people who believed their loved ones may have been on board.

Had seen in LBN and just heard on the radio from CBS news at the top of the hour.
