Indonesian investigators examine black box from crashed jet
13 Sept 12:11Key points summarised by AI
Indonesian authorities retrieved a damaged black box from the crashed Lion Air jet, immediately beginning examination to uncover the cause of the disaster that killed all 189 on board.
The investigation, involving global aviation experts, faces challenges due to the black box's damage and strong underwater currents hindering the search for the second recorder.
The crash has intensified scrutiny on Indonesia's aviation safety record, prompting closer regulation of Lion Air and the suspension of four of its staff amid questions of aircraft airworthiness.
Hopes for finding large intact fuselage sections are diminishing, shifting the focus to identifying victims from partial remains for proper burial, with only one passenger identified so far.
