Bad weather forced scores of divers to temporarily suspend their hunt for a crashed Indonesian jet s cockpit voice recorder Wednesday, as investigators worked to read critical details on a flight data device that had already been salvaged.

Divers just off the coast of Jakarta had hauled the data recorder to the surface Tuesday, with the hunt now focused on finding a voice recorder on the wreckage-littered seabed.
