BIJING: An investigation is underway to find the cause of the crash of a Chinese passenger plane with 132 people on board. Authorities do not rule out the possibility of a terrorist attack. The second black box has been found in a search conducted on the crash site. Another black box was found Wednesday morning.
Reports said the aircraft that met with the accident did not have any technical snag. The aviation authority also said there were no weather or any other problems. Therefore, the authorities are still not clear on the cause of the accident. It is reported that the plane flew at an extraordinary speed before nosediving. This is the reason for suspecting the possibility of a terrorist attack.
Incidents of pilots being suicide bombers have been reported earlier. It is being investigated whether anything like that has happened. This will clarify the situation by examining the black boxes. Meantime, reports said no one has survived in the accident. However, the Chinese government has not yet released information on how many bodies have been found.
The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 MU5735 crashed in the Guangzhou region of Wushu in southern China's Guangxi province on Monday. The downed plane suddenly turned into a fireball. Rescue operations were also delayed due to the dangerous nature of the area.
