JAKARTA - Indonesian ships with rescue divers and equipment to detect signals from a flight recorder resumed the search on Sunday for a Sriwijaya Air jet believed to have crashed into the sea minutes

after takeoff from the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

"We have prepared all the equipment and are ready at the spot where the debris was found yesterday," Muhammad Yassin, director of marine police told the TVOne channel from navy vessel KRI Gilimanuk. The nearly 27-year-old Boeing 737-500 was much older than Boeing's problem-plagued 737 MAX model, one of which crashed off Jakarta in late 2018, killing all 189 people aboard the Lion Air flight. Older 737 models are widely flown and do not have the system implicated in the MAX safety crisis.
