Debris found during the search for Air Asia flight QZ8501.

It's feared unrelated debris could further complicate the recovery of an Air Asia passenger plane that crashed into the Java Sea over a week ago.

Search crews have already located what are thought to be several larger parts of the aircraft, which went down killing all 162 people on board.

Bad weather conditions have interrupted search and recovery operations.

Oceanographer Erik van Sebille from the University of New South Wales told Rhiannon Elston crews still haven't found the plane's flight data recording devices.
