At least 40 bodies have been found in the area where AirAsia Flight 8501 last made contact with air traffic controllers, along with debris from the plane. 

The bodies were found in the Java Sea about six miles from the plane’s last known point of contact. The plane disappeared Sunday with 162 people on board traveling from Surbaya, Indonesia to Singapore. 

The bodies were were not wearing life jackets, according to Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Director, SB Supriyadi. 

Rescue workers were shown on local TV being lowered on ropes from a hovering helicopter to retrieve bodies. 

Efforts were hindered by 6-foot waves and strong winds, Supriyadi said, adding that several bodies were later picked up by a navy ship.
