Black Boxes Located and in Indonesian Custody


What: Sukhoi Superjet 100-95 en route from Jakarta to Jakarta Halim Perdanakusuma Airport
Where: Indonesia
When: May 9th 2012
Who: 36 passengers, 6 crew and 2 Sukhoi official
Why: A report has been issued that the cockpit voice recorder was located Tuesday around 330 feet from the Sukhoi’s severed tail. The charred CVR may or may not have been damaged. Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee is leading the investigation and has custody of the box. 70 Russian experts are assisting.

Chief Tatang Kurniadi said, “We have an advanced laboratory in Gambir to examine the black box.”

Retrieval of victims remains continues. Most have been flown to Jakarta in body bags for DNA identification. More body bags will be flown to Jakarta
before the recovery mission can be concluded.

The Indonesian government announced they would pay Rp 50 million (US$5,400) in compensation to each of the families of the crash victims. Funds will be provided by the state-owned insurance company PT Jasa Raharja.

Government compensation is separate from the compensation from Russia-based Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association. The company has agreed to pay US$50,000 in compensation to each of the victims’ families.

An identification team is using fingerprint identification, forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic odontology and DNA to attempt to identify the 28 remains recovered so far.
