AirAsia QZ 8501 Black Box Found

The AirAsia Flight QZ 8501 's blox box was found today, January 12, 2014 - Monday. The divers found the data recorder from the crashed plane in the Java Sea, Indonesia.

"I received information from the National Transport Safety Committee chief that at 07:11 am [local time], we succeeded in bringing up part of the black box that we call the flight data recorder," - Henry Bambang Soelistyo, chief of Indonesia's search and rescue agency said on an interview.

The Indonesia's national search and rescue managed to hoist the data recorder fifteen days after the AirAsia plane crashed into the Indonesian ocean over a bad weather.

The recovery has been seen as a major breakthrough on a slow-moving retrieval operation since the plane went at the bottom of the sea.

However, the search and rescue chief said that they are still looking for the voice recorder. He said that though they've been picking-up the beacon signal of the voice recorder, they are still unable to get a visual due to strong currents and poor visibility.

Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 crashed on December 28, 2014 due to a bad weather killing all 155 passengers and 7 crews on board. The data recorder and the voice recorder will give valuable information that would give investigators clue on what actually happened to the doomed plane.
