Divers recover ‘black box’ from crashed Indonesia jet

Indonesian divers on Tuesday recovered the flight data recorder from a Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea with 62 people on board.

The team was aided by a remotely operated underwater vehicle as they resumed the search for clues and the remains of the victims from the crash.

The Boeing 737-500 plane crashed minutes after taking off from Jakarta’s main airport on Saturday afternoon.

Military chief Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto said the plane’s other “black box,” the cockpit voice recorder, was expected to be close by as its beacon was being emitted in the same area.
