Indonesian navy divers have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 that crashed into the Java Sea on October 29, marking a breakthrough in the investigation that could answer vital questions about what caused the disaster that took the lives of all 189 people on board.
The CVR was buried under 25 feet of mud in the seabed and was found inside the current search area of 500 to 1,000 meters from the crash site, officials said.
