Bird‑seeping Truths: The Mystery Ping From the Lion Air Crash
It wasn’t a UFO sighting—the eerie ping that’s been buzzing through the internet is actually a black‑box signal from the flight that went down over the Indonesian sea with 189 hearts still aboard.
What Happened?
- Flight JT610 of Lion Air took off at dawn from Jakarta and vanished 13 minutes later.
- The airline’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed into the water on its way to Pangkal Pinang, a tin‑mining hub.
- Laboriously, the final report has confirmed there were no survivors.
Decoding the Ping
“The ping beam is clearly audible now,” says Haryo Satmiko, the deputy chairman of the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT).
He explains, “We’ve deployed a remote‑operated vehicle into the depths and spotted a large chunk on the seabed. That’s probably a piece of the plane’s frame.”
Sea‑Pilgrim Explorers
Since 5 a.m. an intrepid crew of divers has been mapping the suspected black‑box locaton—comfortably, the sea is temperature‑stable and nothing supernatural is flying around.
So Where’s the Mystery?
All clues point to a black box that’s been pushing out a familiar, unmistakable sound—an electronic hum that’s been picked up by investigators and radio operators alike. The mystery is now a little less, ah‑ha‑ha, mysterious.
In Short
