Indonesia Lost Planes Black Boxes Located

Black boxes of a passenger plane that crashed in the sea soon after take-off from Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday have been located, officials say.

A small flotilla of ships has been searching the site and navy divers should soon be able to retrieve the two flight recorders, they add.

Aircraft parts and human remains have been found.

The Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 was carrying 62 people when it vanished from radar on its journey to Borneo.

"We have located the position of the black boxes, both of them," said Soerjanto Tjahjono, head of Indonesia's transport safety committee, quoted by AFP.

"Divers will start looking for them now and hopefully it won't be long before we get them."

Investigators are analyzing items that they believe to be a wheel and part of the plane's fuselage.

However, the search appears to offer no hope of finding any survivors.
