Uhmmmmm,

YOGYAKARTA (Antara): The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT) is later this week scheduled to reexamine the wreckage of the Garuda jetliner which overshot the runway and caught fire at Adisutjipto airport last March 7, a spokesman said.

"We are going to conduct a further examination of the ill-fated Garuda plane's wreckage later this week to collect additional data relating to technical matters," KNKT spokesman Joseph Tumenggung told Antara on Tuesday.

He said t to uncover the mystery behind the accident , the KNKT needed additional data that could be obtained only by re-examining the plane's wreckage.

"Besides data from the cockpit voice recorders, other information related to technical matters are also needed to uncover the cause of the accident," Joseph Tumenggung said.

He also denied media reports on Monday that the plane's pilot and co-pilot had an argument with each other about the plane's speed moments before the accident occurred.

"There was no argument between the pilot and co-pilot. What happened was there was coordination between them about flight safety," Tumenggung said.

Meanwhile, Transportation Minister Hatta Rajasa on Monday also denied there was an argument between the Garuda plane's pilot an co-pilot shortly before the tragedy.

According to media reports, the result of cockpit voice recordings which were investigated in Australia showed that the co-pilot wanted the pilot to go around again instead of landing at Yogyakarta's Adisutjipto airport on March 7.
