Mann &#038; Co. consultancy. \u201cIt looks like it literally evaporated into a crater. Do the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder or quick access recorder \u2014 do any survive? I just don\u2019t know the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/22\/world\/asia\/china-eastern-boeing-crash.html\">reported<\/a> that investigators were still trying to locate the plane\u2019s black boxes, which record flight data and voice recorders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe aircraft was severely damaged in this accident, and the investigation is very difficult,\u201d Zhu Tao, the director of aviation safety at the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said. \u201cWith the information currently available, it is still impossible to make a clear judgment on the cause of the accident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Mr. Zhu confirmed a few details about the trajectory of the plane that had emerged in flight data shared by Flightradar24, a tracking platform, while also describing for the first time how air traffic controllers had tried to contact the plane when they noticed something amiss.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The plane been cruising at about 29,000 feet around 2:17 p.m. on Monday, he said, but a few minutes later, air traffic controllers had noticed that the plane had suddenly lost altitude. He said the controllers immediately called the plane crew, but did not receive a reply after several attempts. By 2:23 p.m., the plane\u2019s radar signal disappeared, he said, and it had crashed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt really catches your eye when you see how rapidly the aircraft went from this horizontal flight,\u201d Mike Daniel, a former Federal Aviation Administration accident investigator, said. \u201cOn any given investigation, you can\u2019t rule out foul play at the very beginning,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was so abrupt that everything needs to be looked at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australian aviation expert Neil Hansford <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/human-induced-event-experts-reveal-horrifying-likely-causes-of-boeing-737-that-plunged-into-ground\">said<\/a> that he does not believe that the plane crashed due to any kind of technical issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven with total loss of power, no aircraft plummets to the ground from 20,000 feet in two minutes with an event at 8,000 feet,\u201d Hansford said. \u201cI think aircraft technical failure can be ruled out and it will be an external event \u2026 I would get on a Boeing 737-800 in an instant with an Australian carrier, so my suggestion would be it won\u2019t be Boeing or aircraft technical related.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very unlikely the pilot passed out as the non-flying pilot would have been able to very safely take over the flying and land the aircraft,\u201d he continued. \u201cLikely scenarios include pilot suicide, aircraft mid-air collision with military aircraft (they don\u2019t have transponders like civil aircraft), [flight MU5735] was struck by a missile or an on-board explosion. My tipping is a human-induced event or bought down by rogue missile. Debris looks like MH117 over Ukraine, and the Chinese are providing too much information this time which is uncharacteristic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
