Black box found, says search team

An official from the Indonesian search team recovering debris from the AirAsia flight that went down last month in the Java Sea says a "black box" data recorder from the Airbus A320 has been located and that divers will try on Monday to bring it to the surface.

"The navy divers in Jadayat state boat have succeeded in finding a very important instrument, the black box of AirAsia QZ8501," Tonny Budionom the coordinator at Indonesia's Directorate of Sea Transport said in a statement. He said divers would be deployed to retrieve the orange-colored recording unit.
