A passenger on the Lion Air flight which mysteriously fell from the sky and killed 189 people sent his wife a video just minutes before boarding the doomed plane.

The chilling footage, shot by Paul Ferdinand Ayorbaba, showed passengers preparing to board and others already boarding from stairs on the tarmac.

Mr Ayorbaba shared the video with his wife Inchy Ayorbaba via messaging site WhatsApp in the moments before setting foot on the Boeing 737 Max 8.

The chilling footage, shot by Paul Ferdinand Ayorbaba, showed passengers preparing to board and others already boarding from stairs on the tarmac (pictured)

The widowed woman saw the message about 6.30am, around the same time her husband would have been plunging towards the ocean aboard flight JT610.

After receiving the message, Ms Ayorbaba went back to sleep for a few hours until hearing news of the crash about 9am and frantically going back to check his details.

'I went back to watching the video. I saw his boarding pass he showed in the video. I started to believe he was in that crashed plane,' she told TVOne, according to Associated Press.

'I kept calling him, sending WhatsApp messages, hoping that he didn't go, or something made him cancel his trip but there was no answer.

'It was his last contact with me, his last message to me.'

In his video, Mr Ayorbaba shows his own waiting plan with a woman boarding up the stairs, as well another Lion Air aircraft in the distance.

At one point, he zooms in on his boarding pass, confirming he was on the ill-fated flight out of Jakarta, bound for Pangkal Pinang, an island north of the capital.

The video surfaced as tonnes of wreckage began to be pulled from the ocean floor, including remnant of clothing and the shoes of deceased passengers.

Among them were the former footwear of small children, with ballet flats and small red shoes pictured among a huge haul of adult shoes.

Just 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta on Monday, the flight lost contact with air control about 6.33am.

Initial ocean searches for the missing fuselage of the Boeing 737-MAX 8 were unsuccessful, with the location of its data pinging 'black box' still unknown.

Experts detected what they thought was the 22-metre-long part on the ocean floor - but unfortunately it turned out to be debris and passenger belongings.

Data from flight-tracking sites showed the plane was unstable during the first minutes of its second last flight, showing erratic speeds, altitude and direction just after take off.

That data is similar to information transmitted in the first minutes of Monday's fatal flight, but could be put down to errors in the site's tracking software.

To confirm their suspicions, investigators would have to match it against data stored in the plane's black box flight recorders, which are yet to be found.

The Boeing 737 Max 8 was released in 2011 and was the fastest selling passenger aircraft in history, becoming the most-commonly used aircraft in the world.
