The Sriwijaya Air aircraft registered number PK-CLC SJ 182 for the Jakarta-Pontianak route lost contact on Saturday, January 9 at around 14:40 WIB and is thought to have crashed in the waters of the Thousand Islands between Lancang Island and Laki Island.

Based on manifest data, the aircraft produced in 1994 carried 62 people consisting of 50 passengers and 12 crew members. Of these, 40 adults, seven children, three babies. Meanwhile, the 12 crew consists of six active crews and six extra crews.

The SAR divers team from the Indonesian Navy Marine Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion (Yontaifib) found an identity card (KTP) in the name of Yaman Zai. The KTP was lifted from the water along with a yellow bag.

The name Yaman Zai was not listed in the passenger manifest. However, he is known to be a family of passengers. Yaman Zai is known to have been at Supadio Airport, Pontianak, West Kalimantan to await the arrival of his wife and three children who are passengers of Sriwijaya Air SJ-182.

The black box signal of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft has been found by radar. TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto said the two black boxes had now been marked for later physical search and appointment processes.

The Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 black box is divided into two parts: Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR).

Information stored in FDR includes speed, altitude, time, and direction of the aircraft. Technically, FDR can store flight data for 25 hours before being overwritten with a new record.

Meanwhile, CVR functions to store flight conversations. The data includes communication between the pilot and the crew and the control tower.

CVR has a recording period of two hours. After that, CVR will continue to re-record automatically by overwriting the previous data.

The joint team has found a number of human body parts during the search and rescue (SAR) process of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft. Until Sunday, January 10, at 15.00 WIB, the team had collected six bags containing human body parts.

All human remains that are found will be handed over to the Police Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team for identification. In addition to body pieces, the Indonesian Navy Kopaska team and a joint team of divers also found pieces of clothing, including those of children.

As of Sunday afternoon, January 10, the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Jakarta has received 12 data on the families of the victims of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane crash. The families of the 12 victims have also undergone a series of checks at the ante mortem post.

The examination in question is taking DNA samples, fingerprints, and teeth. The Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team at the National Police Hospital also collected secondary data, such as medical records or property that were related to the identity of the victim.

There are 51 experts involved in the identification process. Apart from data from the families of the victims, the Police Hospital DVI team will also collect seat numbers and surveillance camera recordings.

In this identification process, the National Police Hospital arrived a baby aged seven days. The baby is the child of Angga Fernanda Afri, the name registered in the manifest of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 flight Jakarta-Pontianak route.

Baby Fernanda was taken for DNA sampling at the ante mortem post at the Police Hospital. Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus, said that tracing the biological data of the victim was an obstacle in the identification process.

The comparison must be specific, said Yusri. He said, since last night, many people had come to compare the biological data for the registered names of the manifest. However, many of these people are not directly related.

"Of the 12 who have come since last night are his uncles, nephews, neighbors. It cannot. Because, the comparison is so that we can find out whose body part is this, whose body part is this," Yusri.

Iwan, a family member of one of the registered names of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 manifest, expressed his disappointment with Nam Air. According to Iwan, his family - including children - should have boarded the Nam Air plane at 07.00 WIB, before being transferred to the ill-fated Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane.

Apart from the youngest child, Iwan's family who ended up becoming Sriwijaya Air passengers were his uncle, aunt, and a nephew. Iwan said, Nam Air had not given a strong reason for the decision to move passengers.

"Until now, Nam Air has not provided a strong reason for the transfer of schedules and different airlines."
