Még márciusban zuhant le a China Eastern Airlines egyik utasszállító repülőgépe Kína déli részének egyik tartományában. A szerencsétlenség kivizsgálására és a részletekre rálátó egyik amerikai tisztviselő nemrég arról számolt be, hogy a légijármű szándékosan zuhanhatott le.
Feltehetően szándékos cselekmény okozhatta a China Eastern Airlines kínai légitársaság utasszállító repülőgépének lezuhanását a dél-kínai Kuanghszi tartományban – nyilatkozta több amerikai tisztviselő a The Wall Street Journalnek.
Az amerikai lap keddi cikkében egy, a repülőszerencsétlenség okainak és körülményeinek feltárását célzó, amerikai vizsgálat előzetes megállapításait ismerő forrásra hivatkozva arról számolt be, hogy a gép úgy viselkedett, ahogyan arra a pilótafülkéből utasítást kapott.
A bennfentes arról is beszámolt, hogy a vizsgálatot vezető kínai hatóságok eddig nem jeleztek semmilyen mechanikai vagy repülésirányítási problémát.
A pilóta problémákkal küzdhetett a baleset előtt
Az ABC News beszámolója szerint a nyomozók megvizsgálták az egyik pilóta személyes hátterét és magánéletét is, aki feltételezésük szerint bizonyos problémákkal küzdhetett, közvetlenül a baleset előtt.
A B–1791 lajstromjelű, Boeing 737–89P típusú utasszállító Kunmingból tartott Kantonba (Kuangcsou), amikor lezuhant. A gép nagyjából 8870 méter magasan repült, mintegy 700 kilométer per órás sebességgel.
A fedélzeten legalább 132-en tartózkodtak, akik valamennyien életüket vesztették.
Hszi Csin-ping kínai elnök a tragédia után azonnali vizsgálatot rendelt el, hogy kiderítsék, mi okozta a szerencsétlenséget, míg a légitársaság azonnali hatállyal, határozatlan időre földre parancsolta az összes Boeing 737–800-as repülőgépét.

Late on July 11, Typhoon Bavi made landfall in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, bringing powerful winds, torrential rain and flooding across the region. Nearly two million people were evacuated before the storm, while roads were submerged, trees toppled and transport services were disrupted in parts of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Fujian. Bavi is the second typhoon to strike China in just 10 days. It comes as the country is still recovering from Typhoon Maysak, which triggered devastating floods across southern China. Now, the focus of the severe weather has shifted east, with emergency crews responding to a new wave of flooding and storm damage. #typhoon#china#breakingnews#severeweather#anotherone
