JAKARTA - A total of 27 body bags and 22 bags containing materials related to the downing of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft were collected by the joint SAR team in today's search operations. This search was carried out through surface and underwater sweeping the Thousand Islands where the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane crashed.
This joint SAR operation also involves the TNI. The elite TNI troops like Denjaka went down to dive. The focus of SAR operations was emphasized by Kabasarnas Bagus Puruhito to search for victims and material debris from the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft and black boxes.
Dives are carried out in the area around Laki Island and Lancang Island, Seribu Islands. A number of divers from the TNI initially received a briefing to look for victims including the results of the analysis of black box signal detection via technology on KRI Rigel-933.
The video of the dive with the caption of the second day of diving Sriwijaya Air SJY 182 by the Jalamangkara Detachment Soldier (Denjaka) of the Indonesian Navy Marine Corps was shared via Instagram account, Monday, January 11. Seen a number of debris on the seabed of the Thousand Islands.
Meanwhile, the Head of the National Search and Relief Agency (Basarnas) Vice Marshal TNI Bagus Puruhito said that the search for victims and materials for the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft will continue tomorrow.
Bagus said, on the fourth day of search tomorrow, the joint search team will expand the search area. Search was carried out on the surface of the ship along with dives.
"Tomorrow we plan to focus on carrying out the evacuation of the search for victims and the search for other materials. As well as the area we will expand on the surface by boat, under the surface by diving or by using the ship's sonar," said Bagus at the JICT II Integrated Command Post, Monday, January 11.
Tomorrow, the search for the black box or black box will also continue with diving and sonar equipment owned by the KRI Rigel ship.
Bagus admitted that the black box that would reveal the cause of the crash had not been found. However, the mapping of the black box signal area has been narrowed down. It's just that, shifting the location of the black box and covering material is an obstacle.
"We also carry out the black box material. We cannot say that we are looking for something below, we continue to visit it again, it is still there. Especially with heavy rain and storm conditions that are quite strong in the area," he said.
Meanwhile, Commander of Fleet I Command, Rear Admiral TNI Abdul Rasyid, stated that the Indonesian Navy's dive team focused on looking for the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 black boxes at two points that had been mapped by KRI Rigel-933.
"We have marked that point since last night by KRI Rigel, today we have dived," said Rasyid from KRI Rigel-933 in the waters of Male Island, Thousand Islands, Monday, January 11, reported by Antara.
Rasyid explained that the dive team on duty consisted of 14 people from the Mainir Ambfibi Reconnaissance Battalion (Yontaifib), 13 people from the Frog Troop Command (Kopaska), 17 people from the Koarmada Underwater Rescue Service (Dislambair), and 13 people from the Jalamangkara Detachment (Denjaka ).
The dive team was also strengthened by the use of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) controlled from the KRI Rigel-933.
