It’s confirmed that the downed AirAsia QZ8501 flight’s black box is found according to Indonesia’s Directorate General of Marine Transport statement in a press release on Sunday (11 Jan).
However, it couldn’t be retrieved immediately from the seabed because it’s currently stuck between pieces of wreckage but the search crew will attempt to retrieve the black box on Monday. Their plan is to move parts of the wreckage to loosen it, if fail, balloon methods will be used to lift it up, said Tonny Budiono, a senior ministry official.
