JAKARTA - The search for victims of the NBO 105 Helicopter accident belonging to the National Police with registration number P-1103 was resumed by the Joint SAR Team on Tuesday, November 29, morning. Head of the Pangkalpinang Search and Relief Office, I Made Oka Astawa, said that the search was carried out using portable equipment owned by Basarnas and Polair.

"We are still using the aqua eye (device) and the Underwater Search Device which is carried out using a portable and rubber boat," said I Made Oka Astawa when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, November 29.

In addition, he continued, the Polair also lowered a number of other equipment to maximize the search for victims.

Previously it was reported, the process of searching for victims of the type BO-105 helicopter owned by the National Police with registration number P-1103 on Monday, November 28, afternoon was hampered by bad weather.

Gusts of wind and waves were very strong, making it difficult for the search and evacuation process.

"In the morning until noon the weather is gentle, there are no problems. But during the afternoon to evening the wind and currents are quite strong, so several small boats experience slight obstacles," said the Head of the Pangkalpinang Search and Rescue Office, I Made Oka Astawa when confirmed by VOI, Monday, November 28, evening.

The presence of strong wave currents causes problems for small evacuation boats. But under different conditions, small boats are very effective when searching at low sea depths.
