AirAsia QZ8501 Black Box Found

jones_supa writes Indonesia's Directorate General of Marine Transport has confirmed that the black box of AirAsia QZ8501 has been found, Indonesian authorities said in a press release. The breakthrough comes exactly two weeks after the flight from Surabaya to Singapore went down with 162 people on board. In the press release, marine transport coordinator Tonny Budiono said that the credit goes to navy divers from Indonesia navy ship KN Jadayat, who found the black box at a depth of 30 to 32 meters. The black box is currently wedged between pieces of wreckage making it difficult for divers to retrieve, and due to time constraints, the actual retrieval will take place on Monday morning.

This is hailed as the all-saving grace, almost like rescuing half of the passengers. And why? Because it determines the distribution of which insurance has to pay what recompensation to whom. Some have won the lottery now, some not.

AirAsia was either too cheap to buy that license or that aircraft didn't fly into the USA or any other first world nation and therefore could be powered by hamsters for all anyone cared
