Ministry Sources at Indonesia have confirmed that the missing CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) memory module of Crashed Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 have been found after efforts of pumping up mud and sand from the seafloor.
The cockpit voice recorder from a crashed passenger jet has been found, the country's transport ministry said on Wednesday, more than two months after the accident that killed all 62 passengers and crew.

The 26-year-old Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 aircraft -- previously operated by US-based Continental Airlines and United Airlines -- dived around 3,000 metres into Java sea off Jakarta just minutes after takeoff on January 9th.
Divers had found the FDR ( flight Data Recorder) earlier but had been searching the Java Sea for the missing voice recorder memory module for a conclusive investigation into the accident.
A preliminary report released by KNKT (National Transportation Safety Committee ) , into the crash last month said Sriwijaya Air pilots had reported multiple problems with the ageing jet's throttle system before the fatal crash.
But investigators had said it was too early to pinpoint an exact cause. The cockpit voice recorder could provide vital clues to what the desperate crew was saying when the flight from Jakarta to Pontianak crashed.
