Chinese passenger plane crash that occurred in March ... "Intentional crash theory" emerged = South Korean press

It turned out that China Eastern Airlines' passenger plane crash in March this year may have been intentional rather than mechanical failure.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) quoted sources on May 17th (local time) as seven experts from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) who investigated the passenger plane accident. It reported that he had reached a conclusion in the analysis.

The Eastern Airport "MU5735" flight will carry 132 passengers and crew on the afternoon of March 21th, this year, and will be on the way from Kunming, Yunnan Province to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, in the mountains of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Wuzhou. Crashed in the zone. The deaths of all passengers were confirmed.

According to sources, the result of the black box analysis of the passenger plane was that "the plane moved as instructed by someone sitting in the cockpit", but "someone who was on the plane instead of the pilot invaded the cockpit and crashed. It may have been awakened." The WSJ explained that passenger aircraft manufacturers Boeing and US aviation safety regulators also emphasized the "intentional crash theory" in that safety guidelines and service guidance related to the crash did not work.

According to the WSJ, the airliner suddenly plummeted vertically and crashed upside down in the mountains. The speed at that time was 1000km / h, which is close to the speed of sound. The model is a Boeing 737-800, and Chinese authorities have not yet confirmed any mechanical defects in the passenger aircraft.

On April 20th, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CACC) submitted a preliminary report on a passenger plane accident at Eastern Airport to the International Aviation Organization through a statement, and released a part of the report. According to this, crew members and air traffic companies maintained normal communication before the crash.

China Eastern Airlines has drawn a line from the "intentional crash theory" that "unofficial speculation hinders investigations and has a negative impact on the global aviation industry." However, they said, "There is no evidence that it can be judged as a defect of the passenger plane," and "the pilot's health and financial condition were all good." They also explained that the theory of intrusion into the cockpit is unlikely because the emergency code was not transferred.

The WSJ said, "It is expected that it will take more than a year for the final conclusion of the cause of the accident to be announced. It was also reported that there were accident-related materials that Chinese authorities did not provide to US experts who participated in the investigation.
