An Indonesian plane that crashed with 189 people on board was asked to return back to the airport that it departed from, before plunging into the sea on Oct. 29.

Officials said there are likely no survivors on the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft, a brand-new airliner that had only been rolled out months before.
