The plane of China’s China Eastern Airlines had become a victim of an accident on March 21. In this accident, 123 passengers and 9 crew members on board the plane were killed. Then it was said that this accident may have happened due to some technical fault, but now a new disclosure has been made. The American newspaper Wall Street Journal claimed in a report on Tuesday that the accident was not a crash but the plane was intentionally downed. In the investigation conducted by the Chinese agencies, there has been no talk of any technical flaw in the aircraft. This adds to the speculation that the plane was intentionally shot down.
The Wall Street Journal report said, “Initial investigation of flight data from the recovered black box has revealed that the Boeing 737-800 was intentionally shot down by someone in the cockpit. US officials have said this in their initial guess about the investigation. On March 21, a plane going from Kunming to Guangzhou crashed, killing 132 people. This was the first time in the last 28 years that such a horrific plane crash has happened in China. The Chinese government had also expressed concern over this accident.
Reports have claimed that when this Chinese airline’s plane was coming down rapidly, several calls were made by the air traffic controllers. None of these calls were answered by the pilots. This has also increased the fear that the plane was probably downed intentionally. At present, investigators are looking for any evidence to substantiate the claim that the plane was intentionally downed. So far the investigation has not reached any concrete conclusion.
