(Foto Antara Papua Barat / Ernes Broning Kakisina) Sorong, W Papua (ANTARA) - The Sorong port authority in West Papua Province confirmed on Tuesday that no resulting oil pollution at sea occurred after the Motor Vessel KM Fajar Baru 8 got engulfed in flames on March 7. We did not observe oil spills in the waters after the incident occurred at the Sorong traditional port, Head of the Sorong Port Authority Office Jece Julita Piris stated.
The port authority s investigators had summoned 11 crew members of the ferry, including the skipper, for questioning to identify the cause of the fire at the ship, Piris remarked.
Divers were able to recover the crashed plane’s flight-data recorder, which tracks hundreds of parameters showing how the plane was being operated, but were unable to find the memory unit from the cockpit voice recorder, which could tell investigators what the pilots were doing – or failing to do – to regain control of the plane during the brief, erratic flight. The module apparently broke away from other parts of the voice recorder during the crash.
Investigators are working with Boeing and the engine-maker, General Electric, to review the information from the flight-data recorder. A team from the US National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration has also joined the investigation.
