The airplane crashed into the sea off
Karawang in Indonesia's West Java province in the morning of October 29.
M. Ilyas added that three objects were also detected around the ship, strongly
believed to be related to the plane's fuselage and black box.
The passenger jet, a Boeing 737 Max 8 coded JT610, was en route from Jakarta to
Pangkal Pinang on Bangka Island, carrying 189 people onboard. It lost contact
with the air traffic control just 13 minutes after takeoff.
Data showed that the plane might have crashed into the sea from the height of
over 1,000 m
and a speed of about 640 km
per hour. It is likely there were no survivors from the accident.
Indonesia’s Port of Tanjung Priok has zoned off an area for
a crisis management centre following the accident. During the past two days,
families of the victims came to the port to search for their belongings.
Meanwhile, authorised agencies have collected DNA samples from 147 relatives of
the victims of the Lion Air JT610 plane crash for identification.
The process is carried out by the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team and
Kramat JatiPolice hospital, in cooperation with a forensic team from the University of Indonesia,
Padjajaran University,
and Fatmawati Hospital.
Indonesia'sNational
Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC)said many countries, including Argentina, the US,
Singapore, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, had also offered
their help in search and investigation.

Many countries are grappling with rapidly aging population. As population aging becomes an irreversible global trend with significant impacts on economic and social sectors, nations face the urgent task of creating flexible policies to adapt to and make the most of this trend to build prosperous and sustainable societies.
With a series of stimulus measures, the world tourism industry is on the way to recovery as before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. Facing the opportunity to take off, the "smokeless industry” is expected to strongly contribute to global economic growth while promoting potential and cohesion, contributing to peace and sustainable development.
The danger from the COVID-19 pandemic is still latent, threatening people’s health and lives in the context that the immunity provided from the COVID-19 vaccine has decreased. Many other dangerous diseases are also likely to break out when the global vaccination rate slows down, due to inequality in access to health services, vaccine hesitancy, and consequences of economic recession.
