An Indonesian navy search team has found the cockpit voice recorder of a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-300 that crash-landed in a Central Java river last week, the 'black box' was found 500- metres from the aircraft.

Rescue workers are still trying to salvage the plane and have managed to remove the right engine.

On Wednesday, 59 people aboard the Boeing 737 had a miraculous escape when it came down in the Bengawan Solo river.

One female flight attendant drowned and her body was found a few hours later.

Garuda says the plane had suffered engine failure.
