A black box from an Indonesian jet which crashed minutes after take-off last week has confirmed that both engines were working when it smashed into the sea.
Divers hoisted the flight data recorder (FDR) of the Sriwijaya Air plane from the seabed and downloaded the data in hopes of solving the mystery surrounding the cause of the crash.
The data successfully downloaded from the FDR confirmed that both of the 26-year-old Boeing Co 737-500 s engines had been operating when it hit the water, according to Indonesia s National Transport Safety Committee (KNKT).
News that the plane s engines were both working means the cause remains unknown - though investigators revealed on Friday that they had recovered the plane s second black box, the cockpit voice recorder.
