The Indonesian rescue divers have retrieved a black box from a Lion Air jet that crashed into the sea this week with 189 aboard and brought it back to a ship on the surface, one of the divers told media on Thursday.
“We dug and we got the black box,” from among debris in the mud on the sea floor, the diver, identified as Hendra, told a regional broadcaster.
The black box was orange in color and intact, he said, without specifying if the item was the flight data recorder or the cockpit voice recorder.
Ground staff lost touch with flight JT610 of Indonesian budget airline Lion Air 13 minutes after the Boeing 737 MAX 8 took off early on Monday from Jakarta, on its way to the tin-mining town of Pangkal Pinang.
On Wednesday officials said that Indonesian search and rescue workers believe they have found the fuselage of a Lion Air passenger jet that crashed with 189 people on board, and are also trying to confirm the origin of an underwater “ping” signal.
