Posted on 22.59 by Unknown
Flight recorders of the Russian Sukhoi Superjet-100 (SSJ-100) that
crashed near Jakarta on Wednesday killing 45, were reportedly found on
Sunday in a deep gorge but will be raised on Monday, a local rescue
chief said.
Earlier on Sunday, Indonesian special police force also found the engines and the running gear of the SSJ-100, Indonesia’s web portal Detik.com reported on Sunday.
“The flight data recorders have been found today but we cannot raise them to the surface yet,” Tatang Kurniadi, head of the National Transport Safety Committee, told Detik.com.
The jet disappeared from radar screens during a demonstration flight about 20 minutes after the takeoff and presumably slammed into a steep mountainside at Mount Salak outside Jakarta. All the people onboard, including eight Russians, one American, one French, two Italians and 33 Indonesians died.
Indonesian special police force found the flight data recorders on the fifth day of the rescue and search effort at a depth of 500 meters, the local rescue coordinator Soma Suparsa told VIVAnews.
The Russian Embassy in Indonesia cofirmed that the flight recorders had been found but not raised.
"We confirm that, according to the chief of the Indonesian rescue team, the site where the flight recorders could be lying has been discovered," said Dmitry Solodov, the press attache of the embassy.
Special Troops Major S. Tambunan told Detik.com that the running gear and the engines were intact while the fuselage would require a special recovery effort.
“The running gear, the left-side and the right-side engines are undamaged, the fuselage is possibly trapped under 10 cubic meters of land slides,” he said.
The rescuers also found several bodies near the jet wreckage, presumably crewmembers. All of them were evacuated, Tambunan said.
The Indonesian rescue operation headquarters told RIA Novosti the rescuers had found the burnt documents of a Russian crewmember from the crash site and delivered them to Jakarta.
The plane crashed in a remote area on rugged terrain. The aircraft had experienced no technical problems ahead of the flight.
