Sukhoi’s flight recorder missing, psychologist offer help to victims families
Rescuers said all bodies were mutilated beyond recognition. A total of 16 containers with victims’ remains were spotted near the site of the crash on Saturday morning, ready to be transported to the National Police Hospital for autopsy. Eleven of them have already been brought to the Jakarta Airport later today, where they will be uploaded onto cars and transported to Kramat Jati for identification.
The National Police’s disaster victim identification unit has been reported as saying that autopsies might take from three weeks to five months given no body was preserved intact. Unit’s Chief Anton Castelani noted they won’t be able to hand over bodies to relatives “one after another,” as they will probably have to wait for the end of the identification procedure to make sure no parts of victims’ remains stay unaccounted for.
The police have called on victims’ relatives to go home, pledging to report their findings as soon as there is more information.
Autopsists have been provided with DNA samples of 35 crash victims of the Indonesian origin. More DNA material is expected to be sent from Russia, France and the US.
Meanwhile, a senior pilot with Garuda Indonesia, Jeffrey Adrian, said some foreign pilots complained saying that flying in Indonesia was “like hell”.
“They are supposed to add transmitter towers, not only strengthen their signals,” Jeffrey said, claiming he heard dangdut music, jazz and even a phone sex conversation that penetrated the communication system in the cockpit.Superjet search operation halted at nightfall
