The memory unit from Sriwijaya Air Flight 182’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) was recovered from the Java Sea on Tuesday. Investigators have been searching for the unit since the Boeing 737-500 went down off the coast of Jakarta on Jan. 9, killing all 62 people onboard. The aircraft’s flight data recorder (FDR) was found shortly after the crash along with the CVR’s casing and beacon. Investigators report that the memory unit, which was recovered using dredging equipment, is undamaged and they expect to retrieve the data from it over the next few days.
