Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency said on Wednesday that rescuers are still searching for one of the two “black boxes” from a passenger plane that crashed into a mountain over the weekend, killing all 54 people on board.
Agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said people who reached the crash site had retrieved the cockpit voice recorder, but not the flight data recorder. Soelistyo earlier said both black boxes had been recovered. But today, he said officials had misinterpreted reports from rescuers at the scene. The flight data recorder holds key details about the plane’s speed, altitude, direction and the pilots’ actions during the flight.
