The smashed fuselage of a crashed Indonesian jetliner may have been found, the country's military chief said Wednesday, two days after the deadly accident feared to have killed 189 people.
Hadi Tjahjanto said authorities were confident sonar technology had pinpointed the location of the Boeing 737-MAX plane that plunged into the sea on Monday.
"We strongly believe we've determined the coordinates of the JT 610 fuselage," he told reporters in Jakarta.
"However, it has not yet been confirmed that it is part of the fuselage."
"The bigger picture here is that you've got a lot of American carriers flying the same aircraft," Stephen Wright, aviation expert at the University of Leeds, told AFP. "Is there (a problem) that could affect other aircraft?"
