washington, May 9 -- Newly released data suggests that someone intentionally cut off the fuel to both engines of a China Eastern Airlines jet and there was a struggle over the controls before the plane slammed into a mountain in 2022, killing all 132 people aboard. In response to a public records request, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a report recently on what the Boeing 737-800's flight data recorder revealed. The NTSB became involved in the Chinese investigation because the plane and engines were made by American companies and the US investigators are regarded as the world's leading experts on analysing black boxes after a crash. Aviation safety experts agree that the data shows both engines stopped and someone sent the plane into a nosedive and a 360-degree roll, but it does not conclusively show exactly what happened because the Civil Aviation Administration of China has yet to release its final report than four years later. International standards call for investigators to strive to release their report by roughly a year after a crash. The NTSB report is dated July 1, 2022. It was released on May 1, but the first news stories on it only showed up this week. Jeff Guzzetti, who formerly investigated crashes for the NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration, said the flight data suggests a struggle and the crash could have been a pilot suicide. associated press...
