An investigator with Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) stated the Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea with 62 folks on board more than the weekend possibly broke apart when it hit waters primarily based on debris located so far.
“We don’t know for sure, but if we look at the debris, they’re scattered in an area that is not too wide,” Nurcahyo Utomo told Reuters on Monday.
“It possibly ruptured when it hit waters because if it had exploded midair, the debris would be distributed more widely,” he added.
