Divers find black box of crashed AirAsia jet: Indonesia ministry (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)
Indonesian divers on Sunday found the crucial black box flight recorders of the AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea a fortnight ago with 162 people aboard, the transport ministry said.
But they failed to retrieve it immediately from the seabed because it was stuck under debris from the main body of the plane, the ministry added.
"The navy divers in Jadayat state boat have succeeded in finding a very important instrument, the black box of AirAsia QZ8501," said Tonny Budiono, a senior ministry official.
The recorders were at a depth of 30-32 metres (99-106 feet), he said in a statement.
