Indonesia: Dive search for crashed jet's cockpit recorder suspended due to bad weather

Indonesian officials have suspended a search by divers for the crashed jet's cockpit recorder of Sriwijaya Air 737 which crashed Saturday with 62 people on board.

The search by divers in the Java Sea had to be suspended due to bad weather conditions, Navy official Abdul Rasyid said.

The search teams retrieved Wednesday more debris and a damaged Identity card belonging to one of the victims, Rasyid noted.

On Tuesday, one of two black boxes and the beacon that was attached to the cockpit voice recorder from the crashed jet were recovered by divers.

Until now, searchers have sent 139 body bags containing human remains to police identification experts.

Okky Bisma, a 29-year-old flight attendant on the plane, was identified by his fingerprints, Indonesian officials said.

The National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS) is leading the search-and-rescue efforts with more than a dozen helicopters, 53 navy ships and 20 boats, and 2,600 rescue personnel.

Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Jakarta to Pontianak, Indonesia.

On Saturday, the Boeing 737–524 flying the route disappeared from radar four minutes after departure.

Officials confirmed that the aircraft crashed in the waters off the Thousand Islands, some 19 km (12 mi; 10 nmi) from the airport.
