Indonesian crash search teams recover aircraft's black boxes
Jakarta
INDONESIAN search teams on Tuesday found the so-called black boxes from a commercial aircraft that went down in the remote eastern province of Papua, but low clouds were hampering efforts to remove bodies from the mountainous site of the crash, which killed all 54 people aboard, officials said.
Search teams reached the crash site on Tuesday afternoon, nearly 48 hours after the plane, an ATR-42, vanished, having battled their way through thick jungle and rugged terrain, said Heronimus Guru, the deputy director for operations at the National Search and Rescue Agency.
