Indonesia Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 'black boxes' located

"Black boxes" from a passenger plane that crashed into the sea soon after take-off in
Indonesia on Saturday have been located, officials say.

Navy divers are confident that they will be able retrieve the two flight recorders when the
search operation resumes on Monday.
Aircraft parts and human remains have been found.
The Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 was carrying 62 people when it vanished from radar on its
journey to Borneo.
"We have located the position of the black boxes, both of them," said Soerjanto Tjahjono,
head of Indonesia's transport safety committee, quoted by AFP earlier on Sunday.
"Divers will start looking for them now and hopefully it won't be long before we get them."
The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, or black boxes as they are often called,
store data about planes. They can provide vital information in air accident investigations.
Investigators are analysing items which they believe to be a wheel and part of the plane's
fuselage. A turbine from one of its engines is also among the debris that has been recovered.

 A timeline of global air disasters
 Plane crash fatalities fell more than 50% in 2019

The search operation has been suspended for the night but is due to resume on Monday
morning.
However, there appears to be no hope of finding any survivors.
A spokesman for the Jakarta police, Yusri Yunus, said two bags had been received from the
search and rescue agency.
"The first bag contained passengers' properties, another bag contained body parts," he told
reporters, adding: "We are still identifying these findings."
Police are asking families of the victims to provide DNA samples and dental records to help
identify the remains.
The missing aircraft is not a 737 Max, the Boeing model that was grounded from March 2019
until last December following two deadly crashes.
