Leaked Report Suggests Intentional Action in China Eastern Boeing 737 Crash

A leaked assessment from US officials involved in the China Eastern Flight 5735 investigation suggests the crash was intentional. According to the report, flight data recorder information indicates someone in the cockpit inputted controls that sent the Boeing 737-800 into its fatal, near-vertical dive. This preliminary finding points away from a potential mechanical failure with the aircraft. The investigation is officially led by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), with the NTSB assisting. No final conclusions have been officially released by the investigating authorities.
