Jakarta: Indonesia’s search and rescue chief Muhammad Syaugi on Saturday said divers reported seeing the fuselage and engines of the crashed Lion Air jet on the seafloor.
Syaugi said a ping locator has detected a signal that may be from the cockpit voice recorder. Divers and a remotely operated vehicle have been searching the suspected location since Saturday morning.
“I haven’t seen it myself but I got information from some divers that they have seen the fuselage,” Syaugi said at a news conference at a Jakarta port.
The plane crashed into the Java Sea just minutes after takeoff from Jakarta early on Monday, killing all 189 people on board. The flight data recorder was recovered on Thursday.
