Probe into China Eastern Crash Reveals Potential Deliberate Act

Preliminary data extracted from the black box of the ill-fated China Eastern Boeing 737-800 jet suggest a possible intentional action from within the cockpit, leading to a near-vertical descent of the aircraft. This March incident resulted in the tragic loss of all 132 passengers and crew on board. Multiple sources, including the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, have pointed to this theory, although official confirmation from Chinese authorities or U.S. investigators involved in the probe have not been publicly released. The China Eastern crash had been one of the most devastating airline disasters in recent Chinese history.
