Divers search wreckage in Indonesia plane crash

The Indonesian Navy has released footage of divers searching through the wreckage of a passenger plane which crashed into the sea over the weekend as the hunt for its black boxes resumes.

Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 left Jakarta with 62 people on board, but vanished from the radar on its way to Borneo island on Sunday.

Search teams have found aircraft parts and human remains and believe they know where the black boxes are located.

BBC News reports the first victim has been identified.

According to news wire AFP, some 2,600 personnel are currently involved in the search operation along with more than 50 ships and 13 aircraft.

Divers have been recovering body parts, wreckage and passengers' clothing from waters about 23 metres (75ft) deep.

There appears to be no hope of finding any survivors.
