China Eastern jet crash was intentional: Reports suggest after black box data recovered

| @indiablooms | 18 May 2022, 12:26 am

Flight data retrieved from a black box that was recovered from a China Eastern jet which crashed earlier this year indicates someone in the cockpit intentionally caused the disaster, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

The report cited people familiar with US officials' preliminary assessment.

The company and the National Transportation Safety Board, however, did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.

The China Eastern Airline Boeing 737-800 aircraft carrying 132 people on board that crashed in the mountains in southern China on March 21 reported a sudden loss of cruising altitude-nearly 26,000 feet under 3 minutes.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft left China's Kunming at 1:11 pm, FlightRadar24 data had shown. The flight was scheduled to land in Guangzhou at 3:05 p.m.

However, the website had shown no data for the flight after 2:22 pm.
