The agency is leading the search-and-rescue efforts with more than a dozen helicopters, 53 navy ships and 20 boats, and 2,600 rescue personnel.

Search and rescue teams have been searching since Sunday and have found parts of the plane in the water at a depth of 23 meters, leading rescuers to continue searching the area.

The teams delivered 16 body bags from the crashed jet for further examination at a hospital in Jakarta, a police spokesman said

By the night of 10 January 2021, BASARNAS had recovered at least 16 large aircraft parts from the crash site, including one of the aircraft's turbines. At least 10 body parts had also been recovered. BASARNAS later reported that the research vessel KRI Rigel had detected pings from the aircraft's flight recorders.

The pings were located at 200 metres between each other. On the same day, NTSC confirmed that multiple debris had been identified, including the aircraft's door, GPWS, radio altimeter and some part from the aircraft's empennage. (ILKHA)
