AirAsia QZ8501: Black box found


An Indonesian diver and an official examine wreckage from AirAsia flight QZ8501 after it was lifted into the Crest Onyx ship at sea on Saturday.

PANGKALAN BUN: Indonesian divers on Sunday found the crucial black box flight recorders of the AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea a fortnight ago with 162 people aboard, said the Indonesian Transport Ministry.

But they failed to retrieve it immediately from the seabed because it was stuck under debris from the main body of the plane, the ministry added.
