Indonesia found more and more and a plane body fell into the sea

Rescue forces discovered many parts of the Boeing 737, said the black box was found to be a flight data recording device.

Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) said yesterday it had found a landing gear, wheels and a large section of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 fuselage that fell earlier in the week. The agency also applies a new strategy to search for aircraft bodies that are lying on the seabed, CNN reported.

Indonesian authorities are taking advantage of an exploration ship belonging to an oil company, since the crew is very familiar with the seabed terrain where the plane crashed. Unmanned dive ships are also deployed continuously. This can help quickly detect strange objects at the bottom of the sea like a piece of an airplane.

Basarnas divers, navy and police Indonesia are actively looking for aircraft parts under the sea. Indonesian authorities today plan to build a ship fitted with a crane to salvage the aircraft.

Director of Basarnas Muhammad Syaugi revealed the black box found earlier was a flight parameter recorder. However, they have not detected positioning signals from the cockpit recording device, most likely located at about 35 m above the sea surface.

Black boxes will help answer the question of why a two-month-old aircraft could fall only 13 minutes after takeoff. The leader of Indonesia's National Traffic Safety Committee said it took about three weeks to download the data and another 6 months to analyze the black box.

Lion Air flight JT610 fell into the sea on October 29, shortly after taking off from the capital Jakarta, killing all 189 people on the plane. The plane crashed was a new Boeing 737 MAX 8 delivered to Lion Air in August this year.

Lion Air's representative said the pilot had reported that the aircraft had technical problems after the night flight on October 28, but the engineers who checked the process and the Boeing 737 were judged to be safe. when taking off in the morning on October 29.
