Chinese Plane Crashes that killed 132 in March was intentional: Report

US officials’ preliminary assessment of a crash that occurred in Hubei province in March and killed all 132 passengers, suggests that the China Eastern Airlines plane was intentionally put into a nosedive.

The investigators found no mechanical or technical problems with the jet. In the crash earlier this year, a Boeing 737-800 was flying between Kunming and Guangzhou when it crashed, killing all the passengers.

“The plane did what it was told to,” according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported the story, citing a person familiar with US officials’ preliminary assessment of the cause of the crash. One of the black box flight recorders revealed that inputs to the controls had forced the plane into a near-vertical dive, according to the report.

Apart from the March crash, Chinese airlines are considered to have a good safety record, as the last major accident occurred over a decade ago.
