The Aircraft Lion Air crash after the search for one day has not been found yet

The almost new Boeing 737 MAX 8 from Lion Air that crashed on Sunday in the Java Sea has not been found yet. Authorities are currently setting up an underwater beacon to find the wreckage or hull of the plane. They are also looking for sonars and an underwater drone.

The plane landed about 15 kilometers off the coast of Indonesia. The water has a depth of about 30 to 35 meters.

The JT610 flight was en route to Pangkal Pinang on the island of Bangka on Monday. It is still a mystery that caused the crash of the plane just after takeoff. Witnesses report an explosion just before the accident.

The accident is the first accident with the Boeing 737 MAX on a large scale. Lion Air declares that the aircraft, used since August, was airworthy. The pilot and the co-pilot totaled eleven thousand hours of flight.

Authorities believe that someone could survive the accident. This accident is considered the second largest air disaster in Indonesia. Some bodies have already been found on Monday. Emergency services believe that the most killed passengers are in the hull of the plane.

Contact lost after thirteen minutes

The pilot requests permission to return to the airport shortly after takeoff. He was given the go-ahead, but then lost contact with the control tower. This happened about thirteen minutes after departure. We still do not know what happened in the following moments.

Being a modern aircraft, it continuously transmitted data on the flight. Authorities say these data will be reviewed
