There was a major plane crash in China in March. Eastern Airlines plane crashed there. 132 people were killed in this accident. Now a shocking data recovered regarding this plane crash. It is being claimed in the reports that the plane may have been brought down deliberately at the last minute. This claim has been made citing preliminary results of an investigation conducted by US officials who analyzed data from the plane’s black box.
This plane was going from Kanming to Guangzhou. Then this plane crashed in Wuzhou. The Wall Street General quoted a US official as saying that the information recorded in the black box shows that inputs were given to the person in the cockpit, due to which this plane crash happened. An official with knowledge of the matter said on condition of anonymity that the plane did what someone in the cockpit told it to do.
China Eastern Flight MU5735 crashed less than an hour before arriving in Guangzhou. The video of this plane crash also surfaced. The Boeing 737-800 jet had descended from 29,000 feet less than two minutes before the crash, according to data recorded by flight tracking service Flightradar. According to the report of Wall Street General, the information that has come out now was preliminary and the more information that can come out in this case now, it will be clear what happened at the time of the accident.
Earlier on April 20, the China Aviation Regulator had issued a preliminary report, in which it was said that there was no defect of any kind in the aircraft. The plane was in normal condition till the crash. However, this report did not say how the plane crashed.
The Wall Street General, citing its sources, said there was also the possibility that someone else on the plane entered the cockpit and intentionally caused the crash. In many cases of aircraft hijack, the incident of crash has been coming to the fore. Especially during the 9/11 terror attacks. After 1999, the incident of intentional plane crash by pilots has come to the fore twice.
In 1999, the first officer in the cockpit of EgyptAir Flight 990 shut down the autopilot and engines when the captain of the plane went to rest. The plane had crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. 217 people were killed in this accident. Similarly, in March 2015, the first officer of Germanwing Flight 9525 had locked the captain outside the cockpit and the plane crashed in the mountains in France. 150 people were killed in this accident.
