Even worse than the helicopter crash

Post by Airspeed »

Surprised this hasn't been posted already.
Indonesian "Lion" airline Boeing requested return to airport just after take off, but crashed into the sea almost immediately.
They think they may have located the black box, but not yet retrieved.
R.I.P. and condolences to friends and families of the 189 dead.
Cheers, Mike.

A horrible accident. :( From what I've read it was a fairly new aircraft.

Yes mate, only a few months old.
Here's an update, 3hrs ago:
Indonesian media is reporting divers have recovered one of the two black boxes from the Lion Air plane that crashed into the sea on Monday, with 189 people on board.

A diver, identified only as Hendra, told local media the recording device was found in mud on the sea floor among other debris from the crashed plane.

"We dug and we got the black box," Hendra told broadcaster Metro TV on board the Baruna Jaya vessel.
Cheers, Mike.
