Indonesia plane crash search finds remains, debris at sea

The disaster has reignited concerns about safety in Indonesia's fast-growing aviation industry, which was recently removed from European Union and U.S. blacklists.

Data pinged from the Boeing 737 Max 8 showed erratic speed, altitude and direction in the minutes after takeoff. Safety experts cautioned, however, that the data must be checked for accuracy against the plane's so-called black boxes, if they are recovered.

Specialist ships and a remotely operated underwater vehicle have been deployed to search for the plane's hull and flight recorder.
