The China Eastern Boeing, which crashed to the ground in China on 21 March with 123 passengers and 9 crew members on board, was reportedly crashed "intentionally" .
To confirm this would be the first analyzes on the black boxes of the aircraft, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal.
It is currently unclear whether the responsibility lay with someone in the cabin, a pilot or an intruder. The suspicions, however, would be focused on the commander .
Before the crash, the plane was traveling at high altitudes when it suddenly changed course and crashed in a dive and without any alarm or request for help in the rugged mountains of Wouzhou.
The plane, fully functional , has in fact done what it "was asked to do". Every maneuver would have been intentional, from the high-altitude navigation to the sudden almost vertical descent at the speed of sound to the impact with the ground, which resulted in the pulverization of the aircraft into almost 50,000 pieces .
Officially the investigation is handled by the Chinese authorities, but the analysis of the black boxes ended up in the hands of a Western investigative team in the US.
Flight MU-5735 had taken off from Kunming Changshui Airport and was bound for Guangzhou , the capital of Guangdong.
