JAKARTA: A black box from the crashed Indonesian passenger jet has been recovered, officials said on Tuesday, a discovery that could offer critical clues to explaining why the plane with 62 people aboard slammed into the sea.
Divers just off the coast of the capital Jakarta hauled the jet’s flight data recorder to the surface, as the hunt continues for its cockpit voice recorder.
