The search for the black boxes of a crashed Sriwijaya Air jet intensified on Jan. 11 to boost the investigation into what caused the plane carrying 62 people to nosedive at high velocity into the Java Sea.

Divers pulled body parts, wreckage and clothing from waters off Indonesia's capital Jakarta on Jan. 10, as the military located a signal it hoped would lead to the wreckage of a jet that crashed with 62 people on board.

The Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 plunged into a steep dive about four minutes after it left Soekarno-Hatta international airport in Jakarta on Jan. 9 afternoon.

Turkey extended condolences to Indonesia over Jan. 9's passenger plane crash near the capital Jakarta.

"We have learned with great sorrow that a passenger airplane flying from Jakarta to the city of Pontianak in Indonesia crashed shortly after takeoff today, resulting in the loss of lives of more than 60 people," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Sriwijaya Airlines plane crashed a few minutes after taking off from the airport in Jakarta.
The plane fell from a height of about three kilometers in less than a minute.
It is a 27-year-old Boeing 737-500 plane, and the authorities announced additional information about the accident.

Boeing will pay $2.5 billion to settle a Justice Department investigation and admit that employees misled regulators about the safety of its 737 Max aircraft, which suffered two deadly crashes shortly after entering airline service.

The government and the company said on Jan. 7 that the settlement includes money for the crash victims' families, airline customers and a fine.
