Jakarta: The National Transportation Safety Committee on Tuesday downloaded Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane that crashed into the Java Sea on January 9 this year.
The downloading will reveal the cause of the deaths of 62 people aboard the crashed aircraft, the committee's chief Soerjanto Tjahjono said, adding that a two-hour conversation was recorded including seconds before the plane crashed, reported Xinhua.

"We managed to download all four channels from the CVR, but channel 4 was disrupted," said Tjahjono.
However, the existing recordings have added important data for the investigation, whose results will be presented in the final report, he said, reported Xinhua.
