Black box from crashed Indonesian jet retrieved from debris on sea floor

"We dug and we got the black box," a diver, identified as Hendra, told broadcaster Metro TV on board a search vessel, the Baruna Jaya, describing how his team found the orange-colored box intact in debris on the muddy sea floor. The diver said he had seen only "small pieces" of the aircraft, and the search had closed in on the black box because of the "ping' signals it emitted. The device, identified as the flight data recorder, would be handed over to Indonesia's transportation safety committee (KNKT), authorities said.
