A newly released report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has shed light on the catastrophic China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 crash that killed all 132 people on board in March 2022. The investigation, which has taken over a year to complete, reveals a harrowing sequence of events that culminated in one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent history. According to the NTSB report, the pilots of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft were engaged in a struggle in the cockpit, with one pilot attempting to regain control of the plane after the other had intentionally initiated a steep descent. The report's findings are likely to raise questions about the safety procedures in place and the mental health of pilots, as well as the potential for such an incident to occur in the future.
