Divers in Indonesia recovered one of two black boxes from AirAsia Flight 8501 on Monday, two days after the aircraft’s mangled tail section was pulled from the sea and loaded onto a ship.
Bambang Soelistyo, head of Indonesia’s search-and-rescue agency, said searchers had retrieved the jet’s flight-data recorder at 7:11 a.m. on Monday. They are still searching for the other black box, the cockpit voice recorder, he said.

This individual could not have been more aptly named.
I’ll bet the pitot was giving bad air data..
We sure could do with some reliable information on this case. It is a mystery that a plane could go down, without sending a distress signal.
Yeah, that is a heck of a handle huh?!
Okay Not—the over/under is stupid Muslim pilot error or malicious evil Islamist Muslim terrorist success. I’m thinkin’ clown car choice A this time

Apparently Bambang is a relatively common name in Indonesia.
Some years back I did a technical presentation in Jakarta. The Plant Manager’s name was Bambang. It was somewhat disconcerting to address him as Mr. Bambang with a straight face.
FOX NEWS: Divers had retrieved the flight data recorder of doomed AirAsia Flight 8501 Monday and had located the cockpit voice recorder on the floor of the Java Sea, a vital breakthrough in the investigation into what caused the crash that killed all 162 people on board Dec. 28.
Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, the operation coordinator at Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency, announced that the voice recorder, one of the two so-called “black boxes,” was located hours after the flight data recorder was brought to the surface. He said the voice recorder was stuck under heavy wreckage and divers were working to free it at a depth of 105 feet.
