Divers retrieve the flight recorder of the plane on the seabed of Indonesia
The divers retrieved a flight recorder from the Lion Air plane on Thursday that crashed into the seabed, a crucial event in the investigation of what caused the two-month plane to sink into Indonesian seas earlier this week, killing the 189 people on board.
A television station showed images of two divers after they surfaced, swam to an inflatable boat and placed the bright orange device in a large container that was transferred to a search and rescue boat.
"I was desperate because the current below was strong, but I trust the tools that were given to me," said Sergeant 1er of the Navy. Hendra, who uses only one name, in a television interview. After reducing the possible place, "I started to dig and clear the debris until I finally found an orange object," he said, standing on the deck of a boat next to his dive buddy.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane crashed early Monday, minutes after the takeoff from the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. It was the worst disaster of an airline in Indonesia in more than two decades and renewed concerns about safety in its fast-growing aviation industry, which was recently removed from the black lists of the European Union and the United States.
Navy Colonel Monang Sitompul told local television that it was believed to be the fuselage of the plane and that it was also seen on the seabed.
The device will be examined by the National Transport Safety Committee, said the head of search and rescue agency Muhammad Syaugi. It is still to be determined whether it is the flight data recorder or the cockpit voice recorder, he said.
Syaugi said the location of the find was about 500 meters northwest of the coordinates where the plane lost contact.
Data from the flight tracking sites show that the plane had an erratic speed and altitude in the first minutes of a flight on Sunday and its fatal flight on Monday. Security experts warn, however, that the data must be verified to verify its accuracy with respect to the flight data recorder.
Several passengers on the Sunday flight from Bali In Jakarta have been reported problems that included a delayed takeoff during an engine check and terrifying descents in the first 10 minutes in the air.
Lion Air has ordered 50 of the MAX 8 aircraft and one of its subsidiaries airlines It was the last year the first to operate the new generation jet.
The investigators say that a preliminary report on the accident could be published within a month, but the full results will take several more months.
The Lion Air accident is the worst air disaster in Indonesia since 1997, when 234 people died on a Garuda flight near Medan. In December 2014, an AirAsia flight from Surabaya to Singapore sank into the sea, killing all 162 on board.
Indonesian airlines could not fly to Europe in 2007 due to security concerns, although several were allowed to resume services in the next decade. The ban was completely lifted in June. The USA. they lifted a ban on decadelong in 2016.
Lion Air, a discount airline, is one of the youngest and largest airlines in Indonesia, flying to dozens of national and international destinations. It has expanded aggressively in Southeast Asia, a rapidly growing region of more than 600 million people.
