Search Intensifies for Black Box of Doomed Sriwijaya Air Flight Bloomberg 1/14/2021 Harry Suhartono and Siddharth Philip
(Bloomberg) Indonesia’s transport ministry ordered the nation’s airlines to inspect their older, so-called classic Boeing Co. 737 aircraft following Saturday’s crash of a Sriwijaya Air passenger jet with 62 people on board.
The cause of the crash isn’t yet known divers are still trying to retrieve the cockpit voice recorder from the wreckage in the Java Sea. The flight-data recorder was recovered Tuesday. Rescue workers have been bringing in bags of human remains for identification, along with parts of the Boeing 737-500 plane, which was nearly 27 years old.
