AirAsia QZ8501: Indonesian safety investigator disputes explosion theory
Published on Jan 12, 2015 7:18 PM
JAKARTA (REUTERS) - There was no evidence to support the theory that an AirAsia airliner exploded before hitting water two weeks ago, an Indonesian transport safety investigator told Reuters on Monday.
"There is no data to support that kind of theory," said Santoso Sayogo, an investigator at the National Transportation Safety Committee.
Supriyadi, operations coordinator at the National Search and Rescue Agency, earlier told reporters that the wreckage indicated the jet "experienced an explosion" before impact due to a significant change in air pressure.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: Flight recorder found; cockpit voice recorder located but not retrieved

JAKARTA (AFP, REUTERS) - Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said on Monday that search teams had managed to retrieve the flight data recorder of the Indonesia AirAsia plane that crashed in the Java Sea. The cockpit voice recorder was located 20m away from it, said an official, and is expected to be lifted on Monday.
“I received information from the National Transport Safety Committee (KNKT) chief that at 07.11 am, we succeeded in bringing up part of the black box that we call the flight data recorder,” Basarnas chief Bambang Soelistyo told reporters.
The cockpit voice recorder has yet to be recovered, he added.
"We confirmed this as the object has a tag number and serial – PN-2100-4043-02 and serial number SN-000556583,’’ he said.
Basarnas operational director SB Supriyadi said the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were located 20m apart, according to Detik.com
“One black box was 20m away from the other,” Detik.com quoted him as saying at the joint command post at the Iskandar Airbase in Pangkalan Bun on Monday.
Investigators have said the recorder would most likely be taken to the capital, Jakarta, for analysis and that it could take up to two weeks to download the data. But the information could be accessed in as little as two days if the device is not badly damaged.
Flight QZ8501 with 162 people on board vanished from radar screens over the northern Java Sea on Dec 28, less than half-way into a two-hour flight from Indonesia’s second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore. The Indonesian meteorological agency has said stormy weather likely caused the Airbus A320-200 to crash.
