AirAsia's Flight QZ8501's Black Box recovered by Indonesian coast Divers

Indonesian coast Divers recovered the flight recorder from the doomed AirAsia jet on Monday and tried to dislodge a second data-filled device from the wreckage of the plane.

Discovery is a critical step for investigators seeking to piece together the reason for the Dec. 28 crash.

The plane disappeared minutes after the pilot asked for permission to climb to a higher altitude in an apparent attempt to bypass rough weather while on route to Singapore.

Rough seas have hindered attempts to recover bodies and probe the wreckage of the Airbus A320-200, resting in about 100 feet of water in the Sea.

On Saturday, crews using balloons raised a portion of the tail section, where the flight recorders — the so-called “black box” — is located. But the devices had been displaced from there to a place beneath a piece of the plane’s wing. The other device, the cockpit voice recorder, remained pinned under heavy wreckage, said Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, operations coordinator for Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency.

The flight data recorder will be analyzed in Jakarta. Official's said it could be as long as two weeks to fully download and analyze the information.

A Previous review of radar tracking information led some experts to theorize the plane could have stalled during a steep climb.

48 bodies have been recovered, but investigators believe many remain trapped amid the sunken wreckage.

There is a dispute ongoing between Experts on the theory of its Explosion before hitting the water surface as it lacks evidence.
