JAKARTA, Indonesia – The latest AirAsia news and the cancellation of the Jakarta monorail project lead our wrap of stories from Indonesia today.
1. Officials say crashed AirAsia jet ‘exploded’ as it hit the water
The two black boxes in the AirAsia jet that crashed on December 28 have now been recovered but a preliminary report on what caused the accident will only come out after about a month, officials say. However, there are already some new details out on what happened: A rapid change in pressure caused the plane to “explode” as it hit the water. “It exploded because of the pressure,” said S.B Supriyadi, a director from the search and rescue agency. “The cabin was pressurized and before the pressure of the cabin could be adjusted, it went down – boom. That explosion was heard in the area.” Read the latest AirAsia story on Rappler.com.

Telecommunications company Indosat has already apologized and taken down the ad above that said vacationing in Australia is easier than going to Bekasi, but residents of the West Java city, just outside Jakarta, aren’t appeased. On Monday afternoon, dozens of students pelted the telco’s Jakarta office with rotten tomatoes. They also demanded the Bekasi branch of the company be shuttered. A Bekasi city youth organization said they’ll also set up boxes were people can drop in their Indosat SIM cards, which they can all burn together later. At the same time, the Bekasi government wants to police to immediately investigate the defamation complaint it filed against the company. Major advertising fail? Others say, though, that the controversy only managed to make the ad go viral. – Rappler.com
