Plane’s data recorder still missing

Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency said yesterday that rescuers are still searching for one of the two black boxes from a passenger plane that crashed into a mountain over the weekend, killing all 54 people on board.

Agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said people who reached the crash site on Tuesday had retrieved the cockpit voice recorder, but not the flight data recorder.

Soelistyo earlier said both black boxes had been recovered. But yesterday he said officials had misinterpreted reports from rescuers at the scene.
