Indonesia Suspends Dive Search for Crashed Jet's Cockpit Recorder

Reuters

   JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Indonesia on Wednesday temporarily suspended a
   search by divers for the cockpit voice recorder of a Sriwijaya Air that
   crashed with 62 people on board shortly after takeoff.

   The search in the Java Sea had to be halted due to bad weather that
   whipped up waves of up to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) in height, officials
   said.

   Earlier on Wednesday, divers retrieved more debris and a damaged
   Identity card of one of the victims, Navy official Abdul Rasyid told
   reporters on board the Indonesian navy ship Rigel.
