Indonesia locates black boxes of crashed jet as body parts recovered

AKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian authorities on Sunday located the black boxes of the Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the sea soon after taking off from the capital Jakarta, as human body parts and pieces of the plane were retrieved.

The Boeing 737-500 with 62 passengers and crew was headed on a domestic flight to Pontianak in West Kalimantan on Saturday before it disappeared from radar screens four minutes after take-off.

Indonesia National Transport Safety Committee (KNKT) chief Soerjanto Tjahjono said the locations of Flight SJ 182’s two black boxes had been identified.

“Hopefully, we can retrieve them soon,” said military chief Hadi Tjahjanto, without giving an estimated timeframe.

Search will continue into the night, a search and rescue official said, but efforts will be limited to sonar scans by boats.

There were no clues yet as to what caused the crash, the first major aircrash in Indonesia since 189 passengers and crew were killed in 2018 when a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max in 2018 also plunged into the Java Sea soon after take-off from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

Even before the latest crash, more people had died in air cashes in Indonesia than in any other country over the past decade, according to Aviation Safety Network’s database.

Two mile nosedive, probably gonna be a mass-murdering pilot.

I’m still thinking age, frequent island hopping cycles, salt and corrosion, and inadequate maintenance.
The result? Metal fatigue causing explosive decompression

Probably a bag with Epstein’s cell surveillance footage, Hillary’s hard drives, and unused phony ballots from 2020.

As of the 15th,the cockpit voice recorder box was recovered. However, the memory module containing the actual recordings was missing. Sound fishy to you? Those memory modules are basically solid-state hard drives, no moving parts and they are encased in resin plastic as to make them impervious to excessive vibration and G-force damage. What are the odds that they find the box, but not the memory module? Source for the above is wikipedia.

theres one thing that is plausible

the airlimes over there are not great about parts swapping

if they remove parts from one plane they often dont put them back if it doesnt affect their flying capability

if you remember the jet they looked for for years due to the jihadi pilot, and their incredible problem just locating it

everyone was trying to look for the black box ping

well they admitted the last day of when those black box batteries were supposed to work until, that on that plane, those black box batteries had been removed and placed on another plane, and no one had bothered to replace the batteries

they literally said, on a tv press conference, well you know when you have a remote and the batteries die, sometimes you take the batteries from another remote and put them in your remote, and forget to put batteries in the remote you took the batteries from, well, that’s what happened here

so the fact they dont have the hard drives makes me think that is exactly what happened here, they were moved to another plane and never replaced
