Indonesian investigators find crashed plane's black box
Indonesian investigators say they have found a black box flight recorder from a Boeing 737 jetliner which crash landed in a river on the main island of Java.
Indonesia's official Antara newsagency says the flight recorder was found 500-meters from where the aircraft hit the water.
The recorder had been missing for several days after it apparently fell through a hole in the damaged fuselage and moved downstream.
The Garuda Indonesia flight was travelling to the city of Yogyakarta from the tourist island of Lombok when the pilot made an emergency landing in the shallow river.
A flight attendant was killed and 32 passengers injured in the accident.
