The location of the black box of the plane that crashed into the sea in Indonesia has been identified. The idea is that the aircraft can be found in that area of the black box. However, although the plane was not found, the body, clothes and life jackets are floating here and there in the sea. Local officials said the chances of the occupants surviving were slim.
Meanwhile, Indonesia’s air transportation system is once again in doubt. There are several complaints against various airlines in Indonesia, including the use of old planes and poor maintenance.
The Boeing 737-500 flew from Jakarta to West Kalimantan province around 2.30pm local time on Saturday. But four minutes after takeoff, the Srivijaya Airlines plane crashed into the sea. On Sunday, the country’s Transport Minister Budi Karia said the plane had crashed in an area near Lucky Island, 20 kilometers from the airport.
Meanwhile, two signals were received from the area around Lucky Island. A signal is believed to come from the crashed plane. In addition, the remains of several people have already been found in the area. Rescue agencies said they had received five bags with the remains as of yesterday afternoon. The children were also found wearing a pink shirt, broken wheels and tires and a life jacket, the agency said. All 72 passengers on board are Indonesian citizens. Among them were 10 children.
Wahiuddin Arif, an Indonesian naval officer, said a possible part of the plane had been found. It is about a meter long.
“We found two black boxes on the plane,” said Soerjanto Tizahjono, head of the Indonesian Transport Safety Committee. Hopefully the divers will be able to rescue them in no time.
The Director of the Marine Police, Muhammad Yassin, told local media that a search was underway around a certain area outside the islands of Lucky and Lanchang. The depth of the sea in that area is 20 to 23 meters.
The cause of the accident was not known until yesterday the last news was received. Experts say there are multiple reasons behind most airplane accidents. And it takes a minimum of time to identify them. However, if you get the black box from the plane, you will find answers to a few questions.
The crashed plane is 28 years old. Previously, in October 2017, an Indonesian Lion Air Boeing 737 Max plane crashed and killed all 189 passengers. Boeing paid £ 2.5 million in damages. However, Indonesia’s aviation system is also very weak. And due to mismanagement, Indonesian airlines were once banned from the airspace of the United States and Europe. In 2014, an AirAsia plane crashed en route from Surabaya to Singapore. He killed 162 people. The investigation later revealed that the accident was due to poor radar management and poor maintenance.
