A devastating 2022 aviation disaster that killed 132 people in China appears to be the result of intentional human interference, according to data released by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
While the Chinese Communist Party has stalled the release of a final report under the guise of 'national security,' the NTSB analysis of the flight's black box reveals that fuel switches on both engines were moved to the 'cut-off' position while the Boeing 737 was at a cruising altitude of 29,000 feet.
This mechanical reality directly supports the theory that the crash was a deliberate act rather than a technical failure. The flight, which plummeted thousands of meters in mere minutes, left air traffic controllers with no response despite repeated attempts to contact the crew.
While Beijing previously issued denials regarding speculation of pilot suicide—claiming such reports interfered with 'social stability'—the NTSB's findings, obtained via the Freedom of Information Act, provide a stark contrast to the lack of transparency from Chinese aviation authorities.
As the investigation continues to point toward intentional action, the Chinese government's refusal to provide a final, transparent accounting of the tragedy remains a point of significant concern.
