JAKARTA - Soldiers hunted on beaches and in the sea on Saturday for the black box from an Indonesian jetliner that crashed with 102 people aboard, but ocean depths of more than 1 1/2 kilometers (0.93 miles) were hampering the search. Experts said authorities had to find the box -- also know as a flight data recorder -- or significant pieces of wreckage such as the engines, cockpit and wings to determine what caused the Boeing 737 to crash.
"It's very much like putting a puzzle together in terms of trying to look at each of the pieces," said Jim Hall, a former chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. "Everything is carefully examined and there is a process in which things are ruled out before you rule anything in."
The plane disappeared off the radar on New Year's Day after its pilot reported strong winds en route to the northeastern island of Sulawesi. A massive land and sea search found no trace until earlier this week, when several small pieces of the plane were found by fishermen or beachcombers in western Sulawesi. No bodies or survivors have been recovered.
