Boeing 737 – 800

The Boeing 737 – 800 began journey from Kunming to Guangzhou but collapsed, diving from 29,000 feet into the mountains. This was China’s deadliest flight disaster in decades that killed all 132 passengers and crew on board.

What does the black box suggest?

The recovered black box’s retrieved information, according to The Wall Street Journal suggests what went wrong on that fateful day. The flight data recorder shows that human input orders to plane controls had set the flight straight into mountains for a crash. “The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit,” the Journal has quoted a person familiar with preliminary assessment by US officials.

The black box was sent to US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in Washington DC for an analysis post recovery.
