JAKARTA - The process of searching for victims of the NBO 105 helicopter belonging to the National Police with registration number P-1103 on Monday afternoon, November 28, was hampered by bad weather. The gusts of wind and current waves were so strong that it made it difficult to evacuate the search process.

"The morning until noon the weather was sloping, there were no obstacles. But during the afternoon the wind and current were quite strong, so some small ships experienced few obstacles," said 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 in small evacuation ships. However, under different conditions, small boats are very effective when conducting searches at low sea depths.

"But with different contours in shallow places, small boats are quite effective. Because large ships cannot enter low depth," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the Head of the Pangkalpinang Search and Rescue Office, I Made Oka Astawa, said the search for three victims of the police's BO-105 helicopter accident with registration number P-1103 was stopped on Monday, November 28, evening.

"The search will be carried out until 5 pm. Tonight there is no search," said I Made Oka when contacted by VOI, Monday, November 28, evening.

In the last search process, the joint SAR team managed to find the helicopter's Emergency Locator deliverer.
