Indonesian divers Tuesday retrieved the cockpit voice recorder of the crashed AirAsia flight, capping a hunt for devices crucial to uncovering the cause of the accident, dpa reported. 'Physically, yes,' Tatang Kurniadi, chairman of the National Transport Safety Committee, said when asked if the cockpit voice recorder had been retrieved. Search teams were deployed early Tuesday to a spot about 20 etres from where the flight data recorder was retrieved on Monday. The voice recorder was stuck underneath a large piece of wreckage, and the divers were sent down with inflatable lifting bags to free it, search operation director Air Commodore Suryadi Surpriyadi said. Supriyadi said the search for the fuselage and more bodies of victims was continuing. AirAsia flight QZ8501 was en route from Surabaya to Singapore on December 28 when it disappeared from radar above the Karimata trait in the Java Sea.
