However, there was an emergency signal that transmitted from the helicopter and was identified by Emergency Group in Jakarta.

“We are checking the location. But, the emergency signal can be turned on accidentally or because of the accident,” said Nafiq, Thursday, September 17.

He could not confirm the existence of the emergency signal point transmitted by the PT NUH helicopter.
