so so sad. Is this one of the airplanes recently grounded?
That is interesting. But it had been flying again for a couple of weeks before the crash. I wonder how many flights it had made.Plane That Crashed in Indonesia Didn’t Fly for Nine Months
“The Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed on Saturday didn’t fly for nearly nine months last year, with air travel severely reduced because of the coronavirus pandemic, Indonesia’s transportation ministry said, as search crews pulled one of the plane’s so-called black boxes from the Java Sea.
The Boeing Co. 737-500 was inspected and declared airworthy before resuming flying operations, the ministry said.”

Was wondering if the captain and first officer has been furloughed as well due to Covid.

Indonesia downloads data from flight recorder of crashed Sriwijaya Air jet
KNKT said the FDR data confirmed that both of the plane's engines had been operating when the plane hit the water, as it had earlier stated based on the wreckage.
Indonesian divers found the casing of a cockpit voice recorder, but are still searching for its memory unit, navy officer Abdul Rasyid said.
"We've found the body or casing, we've found the beacon and now we're looking for the memory," Mr Abdul told reporters aboard the navy ship Rigel, which was televised live.
He was confident divers would find the memory within the next few days, adding that a plane's black boxes are usually strong and can withstand an impact.
That is unreal that the CVR case would have come open/apart.
I was thinking the black boxes were indestructible.
