Investigators who investigated the China Jet Eastern Airlines accident were examining whether it was due to the deliberate action taken on the flight deck, without evidence as far as technical damage, two people who were given a briefing about the problem said.
The Wall Street Journal reported the previous Tuesday that flight data from one of the Boeing 737-800 black boxes showed that someone at the cockpit deliberately crashed into a plane, quoting someone who was familiar with the initial assessment of US officials.Boeing Co., Jet maker, and US National Transportation Safety Council (NTSB) refused to comment and refer questions to Chinese regulators.
Boeing 737-800, on the way from Kunming to Guangzhou, fell on March 21 in the Guangxi Mountains, after suddenly jumping from a cruising height, killing all 123 passengers and nine crew members on the ship.It was the deadliest flight disaster in China in 28 years.
The pilot did not respond to repeated calls from the closest air traffic control and aircraft control during fast offspring, said the authorities. One source told Reuters investigators to see if the accident was a “voluntary” screenshot from the story of the Wall Street Journal seem to be censored both on platforms like Twitter China Weibo and the WeChat message application on Wednesday morning. The topics of the hashtag “China Eastern” and “China Eastern Black Boxes” are prohibited in Weibo, which quotes relevant laws, and users cannot share stories in group chat in WeChat.Chinese civilian aviation administration said on April 11 in response to rumors on the internet from accidental accidents that speculation was “very misleading the public” and “interfere with the work of the accident investigation.”
China Eastern did not immediately respond to Tuesday’s request. The Wall Street Journal said the airline said in a statement that no evidence arose that could determine whether there was a problem with an accident plane or not. The Chinese Embassy refused to comment. 737-800 is a predecessor that is widely flown for Boeing’s 737 Max but does not have a system that has been associated with a fatal 737-Max accident in 2018 and 2019 which caused a maximum long foundation. China Eastern landed the entire fleet of 737-800 aircraft after the accident, but continued the flight in mid-April in a step that was widely seen at that time when it was aside the new security issues immediately on the previous Boeing model and was still most used.
In a summary of the preliminary accident report that was not published last month, the Chinese regulator did not show any technical recommendations in 737-800, which had been operating since 1997 with a strong record of safety, according to experts.NTSB Chairman Jennifer Homendy said in the May 10 interview Reuters that board and Boeing investigators had traveled to China to assist Chinese investigations. He noted that the investigation until now did not find safety problems that would require urgent action.Homendy said that if the council had security problems, it would “issue an urgent safety recommendation.”
NTSB helped Chinese investigators with a black box review in the US lab in Washington.Boeing shares closed up to 6.5%.the final report on the cause can take two years or more to be compiled, said Chinese officials. Analysts say most accidents are caused by cocktails of human and technical factors.
Intentional accidents are very rare. Experts record the latest hypotheses are left open whether the action comes from one pilot who acts alone or the result of struggle or intrusion but the source emphasizes no confirmed.in March 2015, Germanwings co-pilot deliberately flew the Airbus A320 to the slopes of Mount France, killing all 150 on the ship.
