NEWS:AirAsia black box recordings reveal crash not terror related say investigators

DATA from the AirAsia black box recovered last week has revealed the plane did not go down due to a terrorist attack investigators say.
Reuters has reported that investigators working in the recovery of AirAsia flight 8501, which crashed in the Java Sea last month, are for the first time ruling out a terror incident.
About 50 per cent of the information from the black box flight recorders has been decoded lead investigators told Reuters in an exclusive interview.
In the recordings received so far the air safety investigator has said the pilot’s voice is the only one that can be heard in the cockpit.
The recordings from the cockpit also don’t show any sign of a threat just a busy pilot handling the plane, the investigator said.
The search for passengers is ongoing as is the effort to recover the plane.
Indonesian search teams were considering using a crane to recover the fuselage of the AirAsia jet.
Thirteen divers had been sent to estimate the weight of the remaining wreckage and look for bodies but weather was hampering their work, search operation director Suryadi Supriyadi said on Monday.
“There’s still no significant progress so far,” he said.
The technical options to raise the fuselage include a barge equipped with a crane or inflated lifting bags used to recover the aircraft’s tail last week.
The aircraft crashed on December 28 en route to Singapore from Surabaya, Indonesia with 162 people on board.
So far 53 bodies have been found. There have been no survivors.
