Pings detected in hunt for black boxes
But another day of rough seas foils divers' efforts to track down the black boxes, or to retrieve the plane's tail
Pangkalan Bun, Indonesia
SIGNALS believed to be from the black box data recorders of crashed AirAsia Flight 8501 were detected on Friday, Indonesian authorities said, offering the strongest lead that could explain the disaster.
However, more of the bad weather that has plagued the 13-day search for the doomed plane stopped divers from quickly tracking the ping signals to the black boxes, and frustrated efforts to lift the plane's tail from the floor of the Java Sea.
