Indonesian police and SAR personnel identify personal items of passengers of the ill-fated Lion Air flight JT 610 at the Jakarta portHere is what we know so far about the Lion Air crash involving a brand new Boeing-made plane, and the investigation. -Lion Air flight JT-610 took off from Jakarta en route to Pangkal Pinang city at 6:20 am (2320 GMT) on Monday. Lion Air said the plane had an unspecified technical issue fixed in Bali before it was flown back to Jakarta. Copies of several Lion Air technical documents have been circulating on social media, but they could not be immediately confirmed as authentic and the carrier did not return calls seeking comment. Lion's safety record -- including a fatal 2004 crash and a collision between two Lion Air planes at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta airport -- will also be looked at, he added.
