Indonesian officials say crashed Lion Air jet's cockpit voice recorder found

Indonesia has found the cockpit voice recorder from a Lion Air plane more than two months after the Boeing Co 737 MAX jet crashed into the sea near Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board, search officials said on Monday. Naval Lieutenant Colonel Agung Nugroho told Reuters a weak signal from the recorder had been detected for several days and that it had been found buried in about 8 metres (26 ft) of mud in waters about 30 metres deep. "We don't know what damage there is, it has obvious scratches on it," Nugroho said. The cockpit voice recorder is one of the two so-calledblack boxes crucial for the investigation of a plane crash. The other black box, the flight data recorder, was recovered three days after the crash. Investigators brought in a navy ship last week for a fresh search after a 10-day effort funded by Lion Air failed to find the recorder.<br/>
