The head of Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee said to AFP on Thursday that one black box from a crashed Lion Air jet has been found.
"We don't know yet whether it's the FDR (flight data recorder) or CVR (cockpit voice recorder)."
The Detik News website reported that the black box had been found near the aircraft fragments at the depth of 30 meters (98.4 miles) below the surface of the water off the Indonesian north coast, where the plane crashed on Monday.
According to Indonesian TV channel Kompas TV, the black box had already been pulled from the water.
