Searchers have located the black boxes of a plane that went down off the coast of Indonesia at the weekend. There were 62 passengers and crew aboard the 26-year old Boeing 737-500 which was flown by Sriwijaya Air. The flight disappeared from radar just four minutes after takeoff, plummeting three kilometres in less than half a minute, before crashing into the Java Sea. No survivors have been found.
