Plane crash in indonesia
The cockpit voice recorder of Sriwijaya Air Jet, which crashed in Java Sea, Indonesia, in January, has been found. Officials said Wednesday that Indonesian navy divers searched the cockpit voice recorder of the aircraft. All 62 people, including crew members, were killed in this plane crash. After the plane crashed, an attempt was made to find a voice recorder for several weeks.
Transport Minister Budi Karia Sumadi said that the divers recovered the cockpit recorder at around 08.00 pm. Divers recovered it from the same spot on Tuesday night, where the flight data recorder was recovered three days after the accident. Information contained within the recorder was not immediately released. However, this device can help investigators determine how a Boeing 737-500 crashed into the sea in heavy rain shortly after taking off from Jakarta on 9 January.
What will the pilots do to save themselves from crashing?
If there is no damage to the voice recorder, then it can be of great help to the investigators. Through this, they can know what the pilots were doing or failed to do to save the aircraft from crashing. Searchers have recovered aircraft parts and human remains from an area between the island of Lancang and Laki in the Thousand Island chain, north of Jakarta. The flight data recorder tracked hundreds of parameters, showing how the aircraft was being flown.
Voice recorder will now be investigated
Most rescue efforts came to an end almost two weeks after the plane crash. But a limited search continued for the missing memory unit of the cockpit voice recorder, which was apparently severed from other parts of the device during the crash. The voice recorder has been taken to Jakarta, where it has been assigned to the National Transport Safety Committee, which oversees the investigation of the accident.
Aircraft accident raised many questions
Significantly, the 26-year-old aircraft was standing at the airport for nine months until commercial flights resumed in December. The plane crash on 9 January raised questions about safety in the aviation industry. In Indonesia, this question started to rise even more, because thousands of people have lost their lives in plane accidents here. On the other hand, there were only minor accidents in Srivijay Air in earlier times. At the same time, in 2018, a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet powered by Lion Air crashed shortly after taking off from the airport in Jakarta, killing 189 people.
