Research teams searched the seabed in search of the Boeing-737 MAX 8 fuselage, which plunged into waters off the north coast of Indonesia shortly after takeoff on Monday, while It was only in use for a few months.
"Today, we will begin to dive (again) to where we think the plane crashed," said Isswarto, commander of the division Search and Rescue of the Indonesian Navy.
"There are a lot of small debris, airplane wheels and seats – all totally destroyed and in pieces."

The remains of the pbadengers are sent to the hospital for DNA identification. The first funerals of one of the pbadengers take place on Thursday.
But many more casualties have yet to be recovered and it is hoped to recover more from most of the wreckage, including those that may still be attached to their siege.
Lion Air's confession that the jet posed a technical problem during a previous flight – as well as its sudden and fatal dive – raised questions about the possible existence of mechanical failures such as the A malfunction of the system of speed and altitude.
The accident has resurfaced concerns about the poor record of aviation safety in Indonesia, which until recently banned its airlines from entering the airspace of the country. European Union and the United States.
